Just curious if your pricing reflects spraying them with clear post dip?

I had to edit this reply as I began looking up solid films - dipping in solid colors does not actually exist.
What people have done is prep, base color black, then clear hydrographic film, and then 3 coats of clear. Honestly this defeats the purpose of dipping any item vs painting it.
I have no problem doing this at all - just want to make sure that everyone knows what they are getting.

Prices include clear coat
Thanks! I have already done my side covers but thinking the rear panel between the saddlebags would look good in carbon fiber.

With highly detailed graphics like the skulls, the hard part is replicating the base color coat under the pattern.
The mistake I made is doing a piece or two at a time, rather than all at one time, which takes out the prep and finish variables.
Also, some parts with odd shapes, are hard to dip and not run or blur the pattern.
I'd suggest doing as many pieces as you want and can afford once, unlike I did, trying to decide how much was too much.
All at once saves one dip finish not matching another.
Base paint, adhesive and clear coat should go on at around 60 degrees, plus.
Good luck

Anything ive dipped i divide it into days. I have a paint booth and use and use HVLP guns so the prep takes a lot of time to mix, spray, and clean.
Usually this is my dip rhythm:
Monday clean / prep / primer
Tuesday base coats
Wednesday dip / wash / dry
Thursday 3 coats of clear (4am/noon/8pm)
Friday pack and ship if all is good.
Issues i had when i started was getting the activator spray rate correct.
All is good now...
I know many of you are looking for some ideas - here is a bunch of ideas for designs I can add to your bike. Again - if you're looking to repaint your bike hydro dipping is not an option. If you want to add something to your bike I can do that - this website can also make custom images - so if you want to add something to a saddle bag I can easily do that.
