      I got the complete hydro-dip kit from Hydrographics Film And Activator - Hydrographics Services : Dip This

      The owner there is called Paul and he was very helpful even giving me his mobile number to call if i needed help. I didnt have to call him in the end but it was a nice offer.

          Please let us know how you get on with it Jim. It looks a bit difficult to me.

            Videos make it look easy Mike if its anything to go by, what i cant find out what happens if it was to gowrong, can you peel it off.
            I'm going to speak to them in the week to find out what to do if this was to happen.
            I'll be purchase a kit anyway as I have a few old looking canopys otherwise in good nick.

              No it doesnt 'just peel off'. As soon as the film makes contact with the part it's stuck. The only way i found of removing it is with a metal pan scrubber and meths, and lots of scrubbing!

              A canopy might be quite a challenge if you wanted to cover the whole thing in one dip.

                  The fascia of the DX18 is in three pieces. One I got first time but the other two each took me two attempts. I realised what I was doing wrong (not enough activator) so next time round I'd be pretty confident of nailing it first time.
