Perhaps I'm a year late and $10,000 short, but this is incredibly cool. I'm sure a guy like Skyline is intimately familiar with this, but the others that share space with me under the rock might find this incredibly cool too.

It is what makes $450 carbon fiber TALO special edition Walther P22s possible.

Mind. Blown.
I thought the wood grain parts were awesome then they did that flame print on the motorcycle tank... Holy cow. Learn something new every day.

Cool clip, B/D. Fascinating to watch the wheel rims in particular. Plus, that dude has strong wrists to keep rims steady like that; I'd kitten up the transfer on anything larger than a G26 frame, myself...

It's pretty trick what they can dip and the designs they can do. I've seen a entire motor dress up kit done on a zr1 vett. Very cool

I helped a customer automate their dipping system and the first time I saw the operation I was impressed.
They mainly do frames for goggles and the plastic is plasma treated before dipping. Not sure if that is required for every type of application.

It has been around for awhile. My shooting buddy has several stocks dipped.

Thanks for this.
I have a shiny stainless steel gun with black plastic (Zytel some kind of Polymer) grips. I always wanted in some kind of faux
wood grips for it, but I could not figure out how to do it. I will research getting my grips dipped.
So far I am thinking "dark chocolate straight grain"
