Hi there,
Just a short message to say how very pleased I am with my carbon effect dipped wheels.
I got round to swapping tyres over this weekend, so it was the first time I could see the wheels on the car. The pattern blends in well with the other carbon fibre panels on my Caterham 7.
Many thanks,
Rhett
Dear Wicked Coatings staff,
I have received my Vauxhall Astramax scuttle panel back from you today after you have coated it in gloss black carbon effect.
I have to say – WOW.
I am hugely impressed with the finished product.
I cannot thank you enough for your overall service, price, turnaround time & quality of workmanship etc… all 100% – many, many thanks.
Best regards Neil – All Gears.

This is a Classic mini that has undergone a huge carbon dipping project including bumpers, boot, bonnet, wheels and arches.
The removable fibre glass roof was carbon dipped with a Union flag custom painted over the top.
We work on a huge variety of paint and dip jobs each month and there is always a stand out project that we all agree looks the absolute nuts.
This month we had the pleasure to customise a Suzuki GSX 1400.
The Bike: Suzuki GSX 1400
The Process: Water Transfer Printing
The Colour: House of Kolor Custom Kandy Lacquer
The Cost: From £600
We were commissioned to carry out this work by a local customer called Ian who had visited the Wicked Coatings show room to look at a variety of samples.
By his own admission the bike was beginning to look a little tired and in need of a vibrant refresh and so we talked him through a number of customisation options. Ian was keen to find a pattern and finish that would breathe life back into his beloved machine – and in time for the start of the 2014 motoring season!
Having explained the process and what was possible to do – Ian decided to have the petrol tank and seat unit of his Suzuki GSX 1400 dipped in Hades water transfer with house of Kolor custom Kandy Lacquer.
He then opted to have the side panels and front mud guard of the bike coated in our authentic carbon dip. The combination of these two methods has led to a seriously stylish result and Ian is already planning his next Hydrographics project with us!
Fancy a similar customisation for your own machine? Get in touch now or call us on 01202 622258. We are always happy to talk you through your options and advise on how best to approach your project.
Don’t forget to tune into Wheeler Dealers on 31st March to see more of our water transfer printing prowess!
Who could possibly resist the TV gold that is Wheeler Dealers?
The unshakable enthusiasm of Mike Brewer and his trusty mechanic Edd China is enough to inspire even the most amateur of car enthusiasts to roll up their sleeves and get under the nearest bonnet!
With a new series that returned to our screens on March 17th, Wheeler Dealer fans are being treated to a smorgasbord of new material with some incredible classic cars being brought back to life by savvy restoration.
If you tuned into the latest episode on March 31st, those with a keen eye will have noticed that yet again, Wicked Coatings was chosen as Mike Brewer’s preferred Water Transfer Printing Company to work on his RX7 project.
Following our appearance on Wheeler Dealers in March of 2013, we were pretty chuffed to be invited back onto the show for 2014. The increasing demand for water transfer printing has not gone unnoticed by the canny Mr. Brewer and as a stickler for quality, he was insistent on using the best professional Hydrographics team in the UK!
Snakeskin pattern for wing mirror
Having worked with Mike before we knew what a great laugh we would have on set – he is exactly as he appears on the programme, a real motor enthusiast and genuinely good bloke.
With filming stretching from 8am to 5pm, it was certainly more in depth than our last cameo on the show and allowed us time to really get involved with the restoration of the Mazda RX8 that Mike had brought to us.
We painted the wheel rims and centres orange and then got to work on the Hydrographics, using a Boa snake skin water transfer on the wing mirrors and rear spoiler.
Mike was delighted not only with the final results but also the exceptional value of the customisation – approximately £650 for a stunning facelift that made sure he didn’t have to work too hard to get a top price for the RX7!
After the project was finished, Mike and Edd kindly invited the Wicked Coatings team to be his guests at the Used Car Awards show. A couple of bloopers from our day of filming were even included in a Wheeler Dealers outtake film that was shown at the ceremony.
If you managed to catch the episode then it would be great to hear from you – get in touch with any questions or comments here or via our social pages on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

After all, if the discerning Wheeler Dealer has come knocking on our door twice then you will certainly be in good company…
Hi guys,
I received the Suzuki bits yesterday. Brilliant job, the mirrors are absolutely amazing. Very pleased will send some pix when its all back together.
There is also a photo of the VFR with the carbon coated side panels!
Many thanks

A stunning example of how strategic carbon dipping can really enhance your machine. Our customer Ian was absolutely delighted with the finished result and is already planning his next dipping project with us! We dipped the petrol tank and seat unit of his Suzuki GSX1400 in Hades water transfer with house of Kolor custom Kandy lacquer. The side panels and front mud guard were then coated in our authentic carbon dip.
We may not have invented the art of customisation, but at Wicked Coatings HQ we are constantly on a mission to perfect it.
