Thanks ! That's the best video on hydrodipping a guitar that I've seen. Beautiful job, well done !

Very well done!! You did a great job! The body of the guitar looks so amazing!

Radically well done!!! Thanks for the details!!!

Very helpful hints and your design is killer ! Thank you !

Neck through! How difficult it's been. Beautiful!

This video is great. It's really simple and helpful. I did a swirl on my wah pedal by following the steps in this video and it turned out great!

Awesome video. You said all the appropriate tips for people new to this painting technique. I recently started painting guitars with the same exact paint/method. If you do this the right way, including the preparation steps, the finish, the clear coat, the buffing...you can put some masterpieces out there. Very exciting

Looks fantastic!

Thanks for this video, very helpful! Also the guitar looked awesome 👍

4:33 Excalibur! Love the finish, wish i had a bunch of old guitars to try this

Nice upload!!! An cute assistant, guitar turned out beautiful👍😁

man, super cool video the camera at the bottom of the container was gold!

That looks so awesome

Thanks man!! Nice swirl and video!!

Thank you! So far this is the only video I could find that mentioned the finish

Thank you for the advice to clear the paint when you pull it out.

Great job man that guitar looks hot

This is awesome!!! Great video too.

Fabulous!! I see having a go in my future!

Excellent Job, is really amazing to see your work, that make us so happy as a musician. In the future i will build my guitar of dream with colors special and desing. I already know about you. Regards

Awesome color choices

Wow, great job

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely awsome. 👍🏻

Such a helpful video! Thank you

Wonderfull job man!!! 😮 Have you a type if paint and name? Thanks

Very cool, I’d like to try this with drum shells

That is just exquisite!!!

Can I ask if you used anything to "thicken" the water so the paint floats at the top? I was excited to try trhis process and when I filled a garbage can with water and was adding the paint to the water, it didn't float. There is the Magic Medium for thickening the water but according to the directions I would need to add a couple pounds of the stuff.

I'm using Magic Marble and getting bubbles in the paint after, the droplets left on the guitar seem to cause it. Do you blow off all the water with the dryer? Have you ever had these droplets bubble up the paint?

Cool. I may try that on one of my guitars...maybe.

Great video

You'd achieved such a beautiful result with that mix of colors. Do you have any video playing this guitar?

Looks awesome

Is the water temperature key? I am wondering if I have the water too hot? I noticed my brand new marbling paint was happy to sink!!!!

I clicked this because you had your lady holding an electric hair dryer over the water.

What was your water temperature for the dipping process?

Excellent video and perfect result. I’ve tried with enamel paint cause we cannot get hold of marble paint over here. The problem I faced with is the paint turned into thin film on the surface. Do you know why and how to avoid that? May be you’ve have some infos, can you recommend some tips, please?

Thats pretty damn cool

Very nice!

I bought some magic marble from the fishing rod place called mud hole about 2 months ago I really want to try this but I need a large (wide) container. You should try using Simtec polyester clear of that instead of a clear urethane...the polyester dries 90% the hardness of glass. also it sands and buffs out like a mirror!(use all the grits from 400 to 3000. you can skip a few like I always do) Most of the pro guitar companies use this. They also make a sealer(sanding sealer they call it) in different shades from clear to gray. One of the tricks is using a HVLP gun with a 2.0 tip or a little larger and mixing the hardener in the correct ratio(all of which and can be found on there site) but the down side is you only have about 25 mins to spray your first few coats otherwise it will harden in the gun..(I wrecked a nice devilbiss gravity feed the first time) so just get a cheap hvlp from tcp global its around 25-35.00 www.simteccoatings.com/Productlist.ivnu (get the 27x6 A18 if you do it) also at the bottom of the page is the MEKP Catalyst Rate Chart to mix up small amounts

1:12...reminds me of a scene from Breaking Bad. Lol. Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

I wanna do it with the "Nevermind" Blue and gray colors, similar to this one

By far the best video on swirl painting a guitar! You've been an enormous help in my swirl-endeavours. Thanks a lot! But I do have one question left unanswered: Did you just clear coat over the magic marble paint without sanding? I always sanded through the magic marble paint in no time on my test dummies. But I'm afraid that without sanding, my 2k clear coat won't stick. Can you advise me there? Thx a lot

is this water heated or cold?

Going to give this a go.

Very good and informative video, was the temperatura of the water important?

Well I watched this video and enjoyed it, your approach to talking how you did it worked for me, it was cool. But the thing is its interesting to me because I am a drummer and have been for a ton of years, don't ask how old I am, lol okay 68, but what really also caught my attention was you actually play guitar and it seems were in the same boat kinda, I paint drums and guitars as well but never dipped like you did, which was cool, but I clicked on the other video I watched with the Brian May lead etc and really like that as well, lol so I guess this drummer will subscribe so I can see you do more it was very cool. So thanks and have a good one, maybe we should jam sometime, lol later.

What type of paint is magic marble paint? is it enamel, is it acrylic? i can't see on their website.

Nice job giving us the underwater view. Very cool.

Love it!

Thanks for uploading this video. I have been having trouble with the paint drying as you described. Any other advice on extending cure time?

I thinks this is the best video that i've found so fat about the topic. All of them are just people dipping the guitar in and not a single explanation of what is happening or what possible problems you may face during the process. Well done and thank you!

Jus got a start kit for Christmas, gonna give this style a shot. Great video, just a few questions. What kind of primer did you use on the guitar and did you sand the acryllic paint at all or just the clear coat? Overall great video and awesome paint job.

Thank you for this informative video! Gonna try this next week :) one question though: Would I have to sand the guitar first or coat it in any way before dipping it into the water? Or can I just dip it in with the original finish my guitar has?

Hello, what kind of paint is that?

Świetne video! Przymierzam się do "marmurkowania" od dłuższego czasu, ale po tym filmie zrobię to pojutrze :) Pozdrawiam!

How much paint did you use

Que tinta vc usa para fazer essa pintura? ?

Hola cuál sería el secreto para poder hacer ese tipo de trabajo? Probé con pintura acrílica, el agua a cierta temperatura. Y nunca queda así la pintura. Se va al fondo. Se usa alguna en especial?

cool info...thnx for sharing......so does the water damage the guitar/wood... like as swelling or the neck bending later....?

Fantastic!!!

Brilliant.

interesting what you said about using old paint. i think thats what they sell in my country because even the bottles look different and mine seem to dry as soon as they hit the water, wasted about $100 on paints so far because its expensive too a few were even dried out when they got to me. so thinking that must be it. tried putting them in the fridge and water from the fridge and even doing something small is impossible. might have to try the borax/enamel method but that looks easier and its a nice even swirl.wish i could my paint to flow like that.

Excellent 👍

Did u use borax, also what was water temp.

Very very nice

The bottle of paint used seemed to be an issue with them pouring out so slowly. Any remedy to this or is it not really a big issue? Would putting the paint into a condiment bottle,like a catsup or mustard container resolve this issue? Beauty supply stores have even smaller bottles with small tips on them that may work for a better or easier pour of the paint onto the water surface. If time is critical, then a slow pour from the bottles seems like would be a real handicap. Thanks for posting the video,. It is super interesting to view. I would have thought that you would have made some type of holder that can be attached to the guitar body so that you didn't have to coat the fretboard, as well when using it to hold onto the guitar as you dip it. A typical guitar body is actually fairly heavy to hold onto with just the neck as the source of a handle, I bet.

I'm trying this but whenever I do, some of the paint doesn't stick and the primer is visible. Am I not using enough paint?

great work !!! I'm a luthier and I try to swirl or marbeling on guitars, I bought the pebeo marbeling paints, and I got a formula ready for the paints to float easily, but when I apply the paint or background on the guitar and do the dip, the designs run and don't stick to the piece ! I've been trying for almost a year, please what base paint should I use to make the swirl stick to the guitar? thank you very much

Cool video and good job. And what kind of varnish should be used to cover such paints?

I want to hydro dip my Ibanez Jem. The colors I want to use is blue, white and black. The guitar is white. I want the base color to be white. Should I sand guitar with 220 sandpaper then primer guitar white then hydro dip with the magic marble paint. BTW. Your guitar hydro dip is the best one I’ve seen so far!!!

Do u need a heater? I have seen videos that do both. Guitar looks sick!!!!!! I want to do this to my Ibanez!

When you say you put on a coat of shellac did you brush or spray that on and what product did you use..

It's a wonderful job ! I'll do it on me Telecaster Thinline. However, what kind of clearcoat did you use: nitrocellulose or polyuréthane ? Thanks !

Did you have to prime the guitar first? Any kind of wood primer? Looks great!

HY. Great job! could I ask what is in the water? tap water, nommineral water? any extra add. For the colors, do you suggest a special kind of color (resin, car color ).. any special company you trust in to use their range of colors? thanx a lot.

Nice finish! How much/many bottles of paint did you end up using? I believe those are 20 ml bottles?

What paint did you use for the chrome color? I really want to make sure the paints are compatible with that so I don't get any bad results. Thanks!

Great vid - did you use borax in the water for this? Nearly all of the otherones I have seen add borax for the surface tension.

Type of paint and primer do you use thanks Love the vid

I tried My first Hydro dip on old Peavey Foundation Bass. Gray base coat. Used Majic Marble paints and, well needless to say, Back to the drawing board. Didn't get full coverage and the magic marble bubbled. Any suggestions? Did bubbling occur due to water temp? Rain water,... should not have been a bigg issue.

So do you seal the cavities and all the holes in the guitar prior or do you just let it get waterlogged

سؤال هذا الاصباغ زيتي ام دهني ام مائي

ficou linda!

Hi, first thing thank you so much for the video! I tried to do it myself at home but without success ... The colors did not look over the water properly ... (I used: Americana Gloss Enamels Calypso Blue) Did you use anything in the water or the colors are not good?

Hello, i wanted to ask if you used any wood primer before painting this ?

Do you have to use an abrasive on the swirl before clear coating so it will adhere or can you spray clear straight onto the swirl?

So, was painting the guitar silver before you dipped it necessary, or could you dip it without priming it?

awesome video!!! how long did you let it dry before doing something?

You said these colors aren’t completely opaque but I’m wanting a black/pink swirl. should I primer black? I thought white so that the pink would be more vibrant but I don’t want to see any of the white really with the end result.

Did you get the multi-scale bolt on neck off of another guitar, or does someone sell them aftermarket?

I have experimented with this with good and bad results. Do you have recommendations for water temp/air temp/humidity?

Awesome!

Is it possible to use acrylic paint to achieve the same pattern effects?

kool , she came out great

Can we use marbu marbel paint. Magic isn't available in my country.

Qual ė a tinta que você utiliza? Pode me informar onde comprar ? Eu sou do Brasil, sou Luthier meu nome é Robson Mello. Agradeço se puder me ajudar, obrigado.

Hey I need some help I am using enamel oil based paint but the paint is not spreading nicely around the surface like it does in this video when I add the paint to the water. It's all thick and glumpy and doesn't spread, I am using basic tap water what am I doing wrong? Would appreciate some help

What product do you put in the water so the paint doesn't mix?
