  • Note that for PC cases, we will only dip new cases purchased from us.
  • For gaming consoles (PS/Nintendo/XBox), the opposite applies – we only accept new casings (at our discretion) provided by you, however, we require that you disassemble and post the pieces to us, securely packaged, prior to approval. In the case of consoles, please retain all electronic components; we do not need them. We reserve the right to refuse any job if these conditions are not met, or if the pieces are deemed of inadequate form on arrival.

Wii Nintendo hydrodipping paint mod-edited-800w
We can take a PC case or a gaming console (e.g. XBox One, Nintendo Wii U, PlayStation 4, or legacy consoles), and hydrodip it, based on a selection of designs you can choose from (or BYO).

Hydrodipping is a form of manual printing requiring great skill, where designs are transferred from a film onto complex 3D surfaces on the surface of water.  It is distinct from other forms of commercial printing because it results in much more vivid and very highly-resolved images.

Hydrodipping is not to be confused with vinyl wrapping, which is a service we do not currently offer.  As opposed to vinyl wrapping, hydrodipping provides a true and permanent modification to the surface of products.

[tabby title=”Services in Depth”] Our hydrodipping services are ideal for turning any pedestrian, plain-looking mass-produced product into a stand-out product.  We specialise in modifying gaming consoles and PC cases.  We use the same paint and techniques used to modify performance or luxury cars, which means quality and durability to excess.  We can handle orders of 1 — 20 units at a time.  Larger jobs can be negotiated, but it would depend on the complexity of the job and the workload that translates to.  Contact us to negotiate a job.

In summary, what we offer:

  • Hydrodipping customisations for PCs and gaming consoles
  • You have 2 options:
    1. Send your own custom design to us – possible, but costly to for us to do at low volumes for individuals.  If you are a company wanting to replicate one design on many pieces, this is much more cost-effective.  To BYO, you will need to be able to provide us with an editable vector graphic in the form of an .ai file (preferred), or EPS, PDF or SVG.  Please contact us for a quote.
    2. Choose a design from our collection – most individuals opt for this option, as while it costs to achieve, represents a sweet spot in terms of pricing and wow factor.

What we do not offer:

  • Painting a design on by hand, one stroke at a time – you would need to privately commission an artist to do this; this is not something we offer.
  • Graphic design services.  For the most part, we either use pre-existing designs in our collection, or one that you bring.  At this time, we can’t design skin art specifically to order.  Perhaps in future, we may expand our offerings to include graphic design services, but not for the time being.
  • We will not modify your existing console/PC – you need to purchase a new console/PC from us to be eligible for this service.

Common uses for our services include:

  • Personalisations (popular among gamers and hardcore computer users)
  • Customised gifts (for that wow factor)
  • Business branding and logos
  • Sporting and national advocacy (to show you’re a fan or supporter!)
  • Seasonal and holiday decorations
