Work with Hydro Dipping Experts in Melbourne
Using advanced technology and high-quality parts, we provide a safe and effective hydro dipping service, as well as hydro graphics and wheel refinishing to give your vehicle the perfect look.
These hydrographics and hydro dip services include the application of intricate patterns and images onto different parts of your car, such as the dashboard, body panels and wheels. Every hydro drip service is handled in-house by our experienced auto technicians.
The hydro dipping process involves the use of a specialised film which is applied to the surface of your car part and then sprayed with a water-based activator solution. This ultimately helps to bond the film to the surface of your car part.

What is Hydro Dipping?
Hydro dipping is a unique and innovative method of applying intricate and detailed designs to three-dimensional objects.
Our process involves the following key steps:
- Design Selection: First, a design or pattern is selected. These designs can range from camouflage and wood grain to intricate graphics and custom patterns. The chosen design is then printed onto a specialised water-soluble film.
- Activator Application: The selected design is placed on the surface of a water tank. An activator solution is then sprayed onto the film. This dissolves the printed design, turning it into a liquid ink that floats on the water’s surface.
- Dipping: The object to be decorated is carefully dipped into the water tank, allowing the ink pattern to wrap around and adhere to the object’s surface. The design adheres evenly, even to complex and irregular shapes to create a seamless finish.
- Rinsing and Drying: After the dipping process, the object is rinsed to remove any excess ink or activator solution. It is then dried to set the design in place.
- Clear Coating (Optional): Depending on the application and desired finish, a clear protective coating can be applied to enhance the durability, shine, and protection of the hydro-dipped design.
