brad890 Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Rather then start a new thread, decided to bring this one back to life. I'm keen to hear from anyone who has had their frame Hydro Dipped. How does the finish hold up durability wise? And most importantly how do the joins / overlaps look, as all videos I've watched show the frame needs to be dipped twice. Got a blank carbon chinese frame that I'm super keep to have hydro dipped, but first wanted to hear some opinions from those who have done it before.
Grey Hubs Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I've just sent my steel MTB frame to Durban for Hydro Dipping   Taking a bit of a gamble. Not sure if its going to be OTT and silly, but I need a project to keep my mind off not riding! Will add pics in the next few weeks! If I'm not too embarrassedÂ

If I'm not too embarrassed  That would be great to see some pictures of the finished frame. What pattern did you opt for? Who in Durban have you got doing the work?

So decided to give it a go...If it turns out all positive, I'll share their info and pics here!
Eddy Gordo Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 How much does it cost to dip a frame? Is it cheaper than anodizing?
Grey Hubs Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Sooo....project taking longer than expected. No reason to rush it! Seen pics of the first dip.....and it looks...well, interesting  I wanted Snake skin...boy it's definitely SNAKE skin!!!
