I've had it done.
Not as durable as powder coating. Think of it as paint. If something would scratch paint, then its going to scratch whatever got dipped. A friend of mine has made a business dipping wheels and other stuff. Some of the interior trim on my WRX has been dipped and looks great. I also had a deer skull dipped and it looks awesome. As with anything else, its ALL about prep. the surface has to be clean, and has to have some base color applied. after the item is dipped my guy will go back in with an airbrush and get all the hollow areas the film can't reach into, so you don't just have base color showing through. Finally, a couple coats f clear are applied for durability. Zach |
