yeah the home kit would be great for small items not sure about the cost for larger items bit shocking . looking around one of those over priced things and searching you can buy the things needed much cheaper and do in a old bath tub and save hundreds of £.s ...

would love to cover something side caseings

Would it withstand the temps though would be the million dollar question

not sure looking at some pics or videos all manner pf car angine covers have it I asume the film is in fact some sort of oil based paint print when sprayed with the activator in water just becomes paint again .

think this hydro dipping method came from swirl painting now this is fun and can be done with almost any oil based paints even nail polish

must say break would look great like this

Not worth doing it to wheels IMHO.

Will be black within a few miles anyway, from road salt etc. So unless you polished them on a daily basis, not worth it.

Even more so with motorbike wheels...

You are by far the most negative person I've ever come across.

Not negative at all, I'm just stating for those who might have not considered that aspect of doing it.

althou it dont look it the fact is its just a fancy paint finish with undercoat and laq so is the same as painting any park of a car or bike . sp what your saying is no point in painting anything ? frame swinger tank ? they all gona get chips scratches or hit by dirt grime and salt ..........

I think it looks great and know it is pritty hard wearing from seeing it on air rifles alone .
