Nobody done any dipping lately?

 

That's what I was thinking. Thread died there. I wanna see some new dipped cobalts! Haha.

 

I just saw a dipped cobalt on the pearls and pigment website. It was a tangerine color. Looked good. I am thinking about going blaze yellow but not until it warms up and is easier to spray!

 

Sadly, no dipping for me as of late.

Have a boat load of stuff to do come spring though. It seriously can't get warm soon enough!

 

It is way to cold here in Tejas to do anything either.

 

Yeah this cold is fun.. Working 16hrs a day outside in it. Lol, won't be home for a month. I want to drive the cobalt!

 

I work outside in it also. Sucks butt.

 

Huge announcement coming from DYC in the coming minutes. Something to do with a new partnership with Pearls and Pigments. Super cool stuff!

EDIT:

Here's the video if anyone is interested. This really opens the doors to 1000s of possibilities of new dip colors. Can't wait to give em a try!

 

What color dip is that on your car in your sig?

 

Its a mix. 3 gallons of the standard light blue + ~1/2 gallon of black. All over a white base (my paint color).

 

I am not gonna lie, that is sick.

 

It does look really good.

 

Not sure If I want to do this to my balt...

 

Do you have trouble with rocks and whatnot?

 

My biggest issue with PD, was running through a car wash. It always messed up my wheels on my BMW on the lip on the left side.

 

sick!!! this pearl and pigment stuff is nuts!

 

That is siiick. Id love to a midnightblue/purple mix

 

You don't go through a car wash. You go to a self service, do a little hard work and power wash the whole car.

 

I want this on my wheels with a couple different colors.

 

$29 for a 25g bag tho.
whew.

 

Even in a touchless carwash?


I pay $200 for 28 grams...

 

If you just did your wheels you would probably only need 50g of pearl.
Add one gallon of matte clear and two rattle cans of black for a base and your probably only in it for just over $100.
Not bad for a one off set of wheels.

Even a touchless wash is going to do more harm than good.
Best way to clean dip is with the DYC dip washer and a little elbow grease.
If you're just trying to clean wheels look into a product called Brake Dust Professional.
You spray it only your wheels, let it sit for 10 minutes and then hose it off.
Everything comes off and they look brand new.

I was thinking maybe a half gallon matte clear and a half gallon of glossifier.

 

You can definitely do that, and it would look way better in my opinion too.
But, then you need to buy both the $59 gallon of matte clear and the ~$75 gallon of glossifier.
Your bottom line would be closer to $200.
And all of this is assuming you have a sprayer system.
**** adds up quick lol.
