Hydro Dipping in Manchester

At Wrapvehicles Manchester we are dedicated to offering as many quality products and services as possible to help us fulfil each and every customers bespoke requirements. To do this we often add new and innovative products and services, on this occasion we are bringing a hydro dipping service in-house to work alongside our vehicle wrapping services and give our clients the ability to get a realistic carbon fibre effect into intricate car parts.

How does Hydro Dipping work?

Hydro dipping works by first submerging the car parts in a water bath. Once submerged our technicians add a thin layer of film to the top of the water bath. This film is available in a massive array of colours and patterns, but the most popular is our carbon fibre hydro dipping option. Once the film is smoothly on the surface of the water bath our technicians spray over the surface with an activator solution, this allows the film to become malleable and activates the adhesives within it. At this point the submerged car parts can then be carefully and slowly raised up through the film to cover them completely. If done correctly the entire visible area of the car part should be coated in the film. Once dry and checked we then add a clear lacquer to the car parts to seal the hydro dipped areas and protect them against UV and other damage. Not all hydro dipping companies will do this as it does increase the cost, but without this the hydro-dipped areas of the part are likely to fade over time and the thin film can be susceptible to damage from very minor knocks.

What car parts are suitable for hydro dipping?

The main limitation for our hydro dipping services is the size of the car parts. We do have a very large water bath, but parts like bonnets and other large car body panels are a little too large to fit in the bath. For large parts like this we recommend opting for our vehicle wrapping services.

Hydro dipping is best suited for small and medium sized car parts that would either be very difficult to wrap, or too intricate to wrap to a quality finish.

Here is an idea of some of the parts we hydro dip often:

  • Grilles
  • Wing mirrors
  • Door handles
  • Air vents
  • Exterior trim
  • Interior trim
  • Alloy wheels
  • Spoilers
  • Splitters
  • Cannards
  • And many more
