As durable as any other painted surface. After you dip, you clear-coat the parts for best results.

I've done quite a bit of hydro-dipping and can tell you that its is VERY durable. I hydrodipped a pair of Oakley sunglasses and wanted to redip them in a different pattern. I basically had to boil them for about 30 minutes just to get the hydrodip and clearcoat to start coming off. Here are the Oakleys I dipped.

OP, wasn't trying to hijack your thread, just showing people that hydrodipping is awesome and worth the time and effort.

Sorry folks, I cleaned up and moved pictures around in my photobucket account. It seems to have messed up all the picture links. I'll try and get it all sorted out.
