Hydro Dipping my Dodge Challenger - Snake skin Dip

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the film activated and floating on the water, the prepared object is slowly and steadily dipped through the pattern. The dipping process requires a precise angle and consistent speed to ensure the film wraps smoothly around all contours of the object, preventing air bubbles or pattern distortion. As the object submerges, the pattern permanently adheres to its surface. After complete submersion, the object is carefully brought back out of the water.

Goal: Transfer the prepared hydrographic pattern onto the object's surface.

Tools and materials

  • Dipping Jig/Holding Device — Assisting with consistent dipping angle for complex parts
  • Gloves — Protecting hands and ensuring a clean dip
  • Hydro Dipping Tank — The medium for pattern transfer
  • Prepared Object Dodge — The item receiving the hydro-dipped pattern

What they say

Hide

sticky. From that point, we take whatever part it is that you want hydro dipped or you want customized and we bring it over to the tank and actually run it through the film. And as the part is going through the film, it's actually adhering to it permanently. But to get to this point, there's a few steps that have to be done before we get into the hydro dipping. We are going to cover those because there are actually kits that you can purchase to do hydro dipping on your own. So, if you want to customize something all by yourself, by the time you're done with this video, you're going to know how to do it.
