Carbon dipping

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Opinions guys?

I must admit, I'm a carbon snob. But, dipping does offer a cheap alternative for people just wanting to freshen parts up!

Would would be the benefits over wrapping?

Dipping bonds to the product so less chance of it lifting i guess, looks slightly better than wrap imo but neither come close to the real thing.

I can't say I would be particularly fussed unless it was ridiculously cheap, but I'm a bit like you. I'd prefer the real thing.

Yerp, just an idea I had. It is a fraction of the cost of real CF.

Didn't someone on here a few years ago have that done????

I know jase had a load of engine bits done

I know jase had a load of engine bits done

That might have been it.I just remember a thread about it being done

 

[Rogue]

Wouldn't said items you wanted to dip have to be in pristine condition as well?

 

[jase]

Had loads done in my engine bay.
Parts don't have to be pristine at all tbh.
The place I used cleaned mine up.

Don't have to be pristine as they need to be prepped first but obviously don't send bits with big chunks chipped off etc. Small scuffs and scratches should be no prob though.

As this is an opinion thread i'll join in, i kept out of the last thread about it

Unless it's got better since i saw a load on some focus ST's i think it looks pants, the wrap looks 10 times better than the dipping stuff and i'm not 100% on the wrap.

I think if you have genuine carbon on the car the dipped stuff will look well out of place.

Carry on.

Got to agree that some of the stuff dipped doesn't look right, the 3M wrap is good quality and not until you get up close and personal that it comes undone. Having said that, there is nothing better than the real thing though!
