Make 'em in fiberglass! I like the fg recovered in vinyl idea. Easier and cheaper to produce.

Hey Gint,

I recently became familiar with a new process that is called ''Hydro Dipping''

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=EmcdGmYexd8

If this link works, you'll see how it's done.
Basically there is a very thin film pattern of anything you can imagine. IE; Carbon fiber, Camouflage, or anything else, and it's laid on top of a pool of water. Then the object to be printed is dipped through the film, and then rinsed.
The part is printed a full 360 degrees around. It's really slick. I recently held an aftermarket brush guard for a 4x4 truck that a guy had done in carbon fiber. It was amazing, I couldn't see any seams. It really looked like CF, but the guard was made of aluminum. There are lots of companies doing this for folks.
If the link doesn't work, just Google Hydro Dipping....

I wonder how the hydro-dipping resists abrasion and such.

Me too. It looks great, I wonder if it would hold up.
I don't have full web access at this time but I did see a DIY kit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I made some calls and found a slow surfboard factory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I will try to make it down there soon.
I have also been in talks with 914rubber Mark about the fg recovered in vinyl. If you see these in the future with a vinyl cover, I am sure they will be comming from Mark.

I wonder if you can dip a rusted panel in something similar to a "Factory Fresh" color coat;-P

Yes, a little progress. 2 weeks ago I met with Chad down the street and showed him the process to build the "A" pillars. He is a good kid. I want to get him up and running on the "A"pillars before I set him loose on a dash. I was going to start him on his first set last weekend but something came up. I did start one so we should make good progress next time he comes over.

I work a 9-80 schedule. This weekend, I hoped to have a 3 day weekend but they asked me to work all 3 days again:angry:. I will still try to get him over this Friday.

Ultimately Chad could take over the dash but I still need to package the dash molds as a kit and get them to another friend to discuses production. I will try do that buy the end of next week.

I pulled the dash mold out of storage, It looks ok, no warp. Still, I should beef it up.
I didn’t notice any scribe lines in the mold to translate to the part as trim lines. I am sure I did the final trim to fit the car and never looked back at the mold for production.
It is not like I want to pull the dash out of my car to transfer the lines. I do have an old dash that would get me close, It may even tell me all I need to know.
Better yet, If there is a parts car nearby, with a window frame and sub dash that would be great for final inspection.
Donations are welcome.

Not to hyjack but I did dip some gun stocks and it's not nearly as easy as it seems. Several things have to be just right to get good results including experience and enviorment ie water temp and a really calm surface. The more unusual the shape the harder it is for a novice. I do know they can dip wheels though and have good results. You use a touchup gun or airbrush to spray a solvent on the film floating on the water and you better get it just right or you get to start over. You are melting a floating film that you will put the object into. Just adjusting the air in the spraygun is touchy. They tell you to practice on wall plug covers, little simple flat objects. Remember the wood trim that was plastic in cars?
