Just thought I would share this with you guy's , My buddy has a business dipping pretty much anything, he does great work if any of you are interested in getting anything dipped. It stands up to heat very well.

 

How does it work

 

looks good...^^x2

 

thanks, its a real interesting process to watch , I have no idea how it actually works though, He can dip anything though Its called Liquid Illusions out of Chambersburg PA

 

dipping or painting?

 

ive seen this done on american choppers one day on t.v they did a gas tank with money on it,it look dope as hell. and your valve cover looks sick too!

 

it's dipped not painted

thanks man

 

That's awesome, maybe I should do that instead of powdercoating

 

thanks man, I would go with the dipping over the powder coating, he can do solid colors as well, you can check out his site for just a few of his designs

if they did it the same way as ive seen before, they have a tank of some liquid, maybe water. then they have a film that floats on top of the water and then you place the part on top of the film so that it sticks to the surface of the part and then they take it out and the film is transferred to the part.

edit: skip to 1:50 to see the actual process.

that's exactly how he does it.

 

Here is a picture of my buddys K series cover he did

 

how much does he charge for something like this?

 

$ 120 for pretty much any valve cover, He has thousands of patterns ( not only camo ) you can also get solid colors with high gloss, the camo valve covers I have posted are semi flat

 

Dope!

 

looks sick the shop is only a few hours from my place. Might have to go pay them a visit.

 

Yeah stop in , ask for Kevin, Just tell him Shaun sent you in .

 

i dont see any valve cover in these pics? just some grass?

 

good I guess the camo is working

 

Thats sick i read about this in one of last years honda tuning mags.. crazy thing is since i have read that when my motor is done i have wanted the winter digi camo valve cover... crazy that you post this. I live in Washington state does he do work from people that ship it in?

 

im sure if you shipped it that would be fine, I would have to get in touch with him if your serious and we could set it up

 

I like it looks really good

 

ug..

 

?

 

looks really good contacted him he does take work you just have to ship it to him carbon fiber he said around 150$ other camo around 125$
