Hydro-dipping opinion

[ledlow]

I will be dropping off my burlwood trim to get dipped this week...my initial thought was to go with a black burlwood pattern because I thought it would look better on the grey (titanium) interior than the wood. Has anyone else seen something similar to this done? My 2nd choice would be to go with a carbon fiber pattern that has more grey in it. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

[shundal]

Thanks. It's definitely my favorite interior mod.

 

[ledlow]

nice! Any chance of getting better/clearer pics?

TIA

Here's one more I found on my phone. I could get some better pics in a few days when I'm back home.

This is going to drive me nuts driving around with my interior looking like this for a week.

So it's been about 5 days since I dropped off my trim at a local dipper, he called yesterday to let me know it was done. Went to get it after work, when I got there he informed me that he wasn't happy with it after further inspection. Apparently when he clear coated it there was a lot of debris in the air causing minor bumps. He said he was going to wet sand it and redo any if needed. Went by at lunch today and he was still working on them...starting to get a little anxious. I went with a black burlwood pattern, I think it will look really good with my titanium interior. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow...pics to follow.

That looks sharp. Where did you get the steering wheel?

Sorry, just realized you weren't talking to me.

It's the stock steering wheel that was hydro dipped. I'm not exactly sure how they did the steering but I believe they first coated the top and bottom with resin and then it was dipped.

I love how yours came out. I have been debating over which finish to do on mine as well. I like the carbon fiber but the black bural wood look goes more naturally with our trucks. It has an OEM look. Carbon fiber is more for the sports car world.

 

[ledlow]

Yeah, I thought about carbon fiber too but wanted a more refined look. I love the way it turned out.
