hydro-dipping/transfer

[z0mbies fear me]

I have been hearing talk about hydro-dipping/ design transfer being done on guns. Has anyone had any interaction with a gun that has been dipped? There is a guy in my hometown that does it but i wanted to see if anyone has had bad experiences with it. For an example google: dippingwulf

I visited a plant in Canada that was dipping 4-wheeler plastics. It was pretty amazing to watch.

The main reason I ask is my wife wants her Glock 17 dipped with black and pink zebra stripes. We saw one at Gunslinger's in Kingsport and she fell in love. Guy working said dippingwulf did the finish on it.

Are you wanting to have it done, or do it yourself? It is not an easy process. Looks easy when you watch guys do it on youtube, but its acually quite complicated. As far as the finish itself, its looks awesome on gun parts. The top coat is what determines durability and finish. There are companies that sell a rubber textured clear coat that is designed for wear and added grip. A lot of "dippers" use regular clear coat to top coat, which looks good, but will wear faster.

I'm going to have it done. Found out that the guy that does it is my buddy's uncle.

I would have but she just got her G-17 two weeks ago! She is pretty good with it too. She is pregnant and said she wanted it done before our daughter gets here in February.
