My Hydro Dipped Vega chassis

[RichyUK]

I have a new venture under way and quickly did this as a demo piece, I think it looks pretty cool

It has 2k laquer on it so will be relatively hard wearing, but obviously it will scratch up. In the fitted pics it has a clear protector fitted to it so should save it a little more.

Yep... Liking that!

Nice work , very eye catching ...the more you luck the more you see...

I like it, could you do an avid alloy chassis like this? Its already factory anodized.

[Swell]

Yep, ask jamie about it danny his mate has a tank at his garage charlie bez had a shell done also...

I like it ! looks diffrent. any problems with screw holes ?

[RichyUK]

Cheers for the comments guys. It wont always be to everyones taste but was done mainly to show what can be done and catch peoples attention. I have a lot of different effects I can do too.

Anodized chassis should be ok, the Vega one is clear anodized. I just prepped and etch primed it first.

Screw hole countersinks were just cleaned out after so the screws will tighten down correctly still

Can smaller parts be done? As in turnbuckles, or bulkheads etc.

Pretty much anything that can be painted and put into water can be dipped. The part needs to be painted first. Some films are more transparent, so the skulls on my chassis could be any colour as I painted the green first then dipped it.

I have a 2m x 1m x 1m dipping area so can do some large parts such as real car wheels.

Here's the radio tray from my nitro that I've just quickly done in carbon:

Nice job what would the cost be roughly to a Vega chassis and can the gearbox be done?

cheers

gearbox can be done if you send me the bare 2 halves. I'd estimate around £45 to do the chassis and gearbox. I'll attach a couple of pics of other items recently done. The RB6 has a carbon dipped front bulkhead and motor guard. The others are car interior/exterior parts and a 4" turbo intake pipe
