Hydro-dipping

They also look great Paul. I'm just arranging to have my interior silver front and rear door strips dipped in carbon by Wicked Coatings.

They done mine back when I first got the GS 2013, £120 from memory and a great job. They still look great now, just be careful letting the seatbelt go when you take it off, slight mark on one of mine.

It looks even better in the high res pics, very tempted. I'd like to do the silver trims on the doors but I would need to check the carbon weave pattern - I am concerned the weave on the GS interior parts is slightly different from that which is prevalent today and if there is a difference would cause me brain ache.

Anyone got a nice pic of an original piece of Maserati Carbon?

Not easy to photograph - will try in daylight

Do you know if its possible to "cover" the GS Seat Back Plastic support?

Yes, the size restrictions are only limited by the size of the tank they use to dip. The main difficulty doing that is removing and dismantling the seats.

It’s an amazing process to watch; my detailer does it. Not very often now as he’s so busy detailing cars.

So - It may be better to get some "salvaged" back covers - get them dipped and then replace originals, or can they be covered like a "wrap".

Was something I started looking into when I had the 4200, need to find the post on Maserati Life - once I've finished with chuffing Insurance quotes....

I imagine the supply of seat backs is as low as the supply of seats. But if you find them all the better!

I can get one from Stu no problem I’m sure. Best thing is to check with my detailer first if hydro dip will adhere to the rubberised surface to which the answer may be a negative. Therefore they would need some coating first. All seems like a massive undertaking, why do you want to do it?

Not for me that, bit Max Power.

Wasn't keen on the flat Blue on the 4200, obviously other shades available, maybe just a gloss colour, dark blue/black perhaps, will see, IIRC, it wont stick, hence these were wrapped...

Think I will change the paddles tho..maybe like these or dip originals

The Valence ones are good quality, best around.

I guess the MCV ones are the ones to have - same price, fit them, use them and then sell when move car on.
Need a plan that goes, buy, post to Craig Waterman, Catman goes stateside, picks up, brings back - swap for good red vino - fit......lol


I've had a sherbert or 2

Strip the coating?

[dickygrace]

Possible Catman. Dave, MCV ones are obselete last time I asked.

Does hydro-dipping add much to the thickness of the original / undipped part?

 

[dickygrace]

No, not more than 1mm thick.
