Just had mine done, carbon fiber design with a coat of sparkle clear. The CAI lid was also done last month.

Thanks to all, I just couldn't stand the old faded worn cowl, now I have to paint the engine bay when the car goes to the paint shop.

Actually the sparkle on pops when its in direct sunlight.

I like that, i would consider doing that if it were able to be done in a matte/flat finish.

I like the cowl! What is a fair price to pay for hydro-dipping?

did it have to be pc or painted before the dipp, looks killer, have mine in my box of parts that need to be sent out

I don't think so. If I understand the process correctly, it's what you do after it's dipped that's important for making sure it turns out right. It should always be clear coated after dipped to ensure it doesn't peel and make sure it looks good.

actually a great idea since these tend to get faded by the sun.

X2....I never would have thought of hydropainting, even though I have used them ion the past. I did a small piece for my interior and it wasn't even $40. Local guy who did it on the side as a test. How did you prep yours...or did you let the hydropainter prep it? Cost involved?

Hi, the shop i used prepped it and completed process, he's a professional Paint shop, flat fee $120.00

For a piece that size, that's a pretty good deal (especially since you didn't have to prep it yourself). Sanding and prepping the plastic can be tedious and a P.I.T.A..

The part must be painted first, then within 24 hrs the piece needs to be dipped into the film. After that clearcoat and done.

I did mine in white carbon fiber 2 years a gi when we got our tank. Since then my interior and engine got some attention.

I also had the airlid dipped as well in sapphire blue carbon fiber texture.
