Truck is going to be a monster, when you do the dip paint job do a test piece with a little borax in the water, my wife used to dip candles and the borax made a big difference in the finish, no idea what it does but it works good.

Thank you Mrfish, now the borax, does it make the finish more glossy?

I think it helped the paint film flow and slowed down dry time so it was flexible and formed to the parts without cracking, there are quite a few companies and websites with info on hydropainting, lots of pre done films available as well but I am unsure as to cost.
