One video said to put down a base coat first with one of the desired colors. That way, if you miss a section, you still have some nice paint there.

Actually we did that with Lacquer, gently pour in a tub of water and then gently dip the primered motorcycle tank and side covers creating a marbled textured effect. We usually used three primary colors (red-blue-yellow) and a little white. Finally we would mask the area of marbling we wanted to save and spray a base color (like black) and then shoot candy apple colors over the marble base... They hadn't invented dip tank art yet. ;)

"Shooken". That's all the video that I need to see.

Better way is to have your item in the water first with thin wires attached to it for rotation control then add your paint ( doesn't have to be spray paint I use automotive paint from a can) then pull your item up threw the paint.... This the method I have been doing for 40 years.

This was the first time I tried it, but I've realized now that a base coat helps and warm water gives you better rings. And paint fumes are the least of my worries

This color is the result of putting cabelas in a blender.

Super cool! Thanks for sharing. You learn through process I suppose.

Beautiful work

Thank you your tutorial was very helpful!

Wauw! i see some happy clouds right there🙏

Looks cool thanks for the DIY 😄😄😄😄

Pretty cool man! Thanks for the Video.

I saw this done on plastic model cars 15 years ago,glad its taken off onto other things and not died off

Dude I've never seen this done before nor have I done it myself, but my logic tells me that instead of holding the skill from the back end of it u should of held it from its inner under center. As to dip it from the very top of its head so that the runs along the side of its face.

😀awesome sound quality...!

Thank you for this tutorial!

Good job man! That's a great look! I have 8 or 10 cans of Montana Gold here I am gonna try that out this morning.

Pretty cool thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic video mate I'm going to try this tomorrow I had liked and subbed you my friend 😊😊😊

Really neat video

that looked so cool

shops don't do spray paint dipping. they do actual hydro dip. paint dipping is for people who want to do something creative while saving money

Incredible much respect

Pretty cool!

Your Bob ross impersonation is spot on

Nice job !

Crazy cool !

Cool..great vid!

Very helpful video thanks

can i do this with a human skull i got a few laying around the house from previous murders. jk

That's awesome

after doing it a few times I realized I just had to shake the can a lot more. otherwise metallic would bubble up. so just mix the can well

Only use oil based paints for no separates

Paint the skull metallic first let dry then do ur hydro dip u won't get bare spots that way never hydro dipped before just seems logical.

I've found that if you paint a base layer on the skull you get a fuller color and if you go slower and don't chase the paint as hard you get less bubbles and a better dip just me though!

Super Cool. I can't wait to try this with some other materials like stationary cards and picture frames

That is cool!

Looks cool

WOW..Great..

What do you do with the old paint and water when you are finished with it? Not a trick question. I am retired and have some things to dip. Just figured I would be changing colors periodically...

Cool idea.

Nice Jordan's

Kinemaster for the win!! Great job man!! Keep up the awesome work!

Stacey nave, warm/luke warm water and what kind of spray paint are you using. valspar? knock off paint? and I found out it helps to put primer on the item

you must spray the paint in a bottle apart and then you pour it in to the bucket in order to not create air bubbles

Hi I love this I have a silver I guess it's metal pelican sitting on wood with water below it I can't wait to try this this reminds me of water marbling for fingernails with Polish or you can use acrylic paint/craft paints they dry VERY quick in a cup you don't have much time to make a design. HOW quick does that spray paint dry in the water? Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing this is awesome I didn't see where you had any more videos on this am I missing them somewhere?

cool video

Oil spray paint is getting very hard to get now, as they are taking it off the market and using water based products. The metallic silver paints are made with ground aluminium so it will 'fall out' and you have to keep it mixed to get the paint to cover evenly...anyhoo...great idea but not sure I would use this on a good skull:) Use paper towels to lift out the excess paint that will work better:) Cool idea!!:)

Looks good, it looks like what is called a swirl dip.

The coyote came out nice. That raccoon would be pissed off tho, you made his skull look like shit.

tanks boss, ima go try tis on me paintballin mask! cheers mate!

how long did you have to wait to dry and did you prime it before hand? ?

Also did you say what type of paint to use instead of metallic? I might have missed that part.

Yes tried it on an 87 Moto 4. turned out pretty good but always clear coat or use clear flex seal rubber spray

dude i like how it works but after fist one my paint starts to setup before i can run the screwdriver thru paints to blend the look. what might my issue be???

I've seen that done too. looks a lot better, wish polish came in big bottles

Hi do you not need to use activator one the last layer of paint before dipping the object?

Luke Mucha must the water be warm or cold?

Very cool

Damn this guy was high af, He played with that screwdriver in paint for a minute!!!

now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on KZfaq lol most them that isn't professional people try and do what u did and the finished product looks like shit has big bubbles and all nasty looking. lol thanks for sharing this with us I subbed keep up great work and vids. thank you for taking you time to share this with us.

what spray do you use - regular spray dries quickly

Would have been good if you showed the actual paint that was used. There are so many different types of spray paints oil based, acrylic, matte, satin, gloss etc

What kinds of paint are you using?? Waterbase paint, or Quick dry enamel paint?

LOL. At 3:52 you can see a little jumping spider looking it him on the lip of the bucket to the left.

So funny that this making a comeback I have been doing this since the 70s I use a metal trash can depends on what I am doing

I know this is old but like most people said base coat it so any blank spots are still colored with something. And any high spots with no holes for an item like this you should drill a tiny hole and I mean just tiny nothing big so that way any air in those high spots can escape.

u use cold water or warm water?

Fresh

do you use a star or a straight screwdriver

Do a base coat on the skull first

ok... serious question. How in the world do you keep the paint from clumping up?? I've tried water dipping a handful of times over the past week... and everytime I do it, it nearly dries before I can swirl it. you make it look so easy... can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is it the water temperature?

You're overdoing it mixing the colors in using your screwdriver!

can you use any kind of spray paint ?

would it stick better if water was hot? or doesn't make a difference?

Do you use warm or cold water I've tried this and after ive sprayed the paint it turns gooey and I cant make a pattern what am I doing wrong

Does it only work for skulls?

Hi, do you think I can do it with a transparent flat glass?

what temperature do you do it at?

So you don't need to add anything else to the water, besides the spray paint?

what r u gonna do with the skulls after

Kool nice

Were all your paints oil based? If they weren't that could explain the separation.

Awesome! But I want to know if this is just an ordinary water with no chemicals added? Thanks!

can yoi do this woth plastic? if so what kind of paint should i use

Do you cold, warm or hot water???

thats amazing do you sell your finished products

MUITO BOM

Talk about a deer skull. 3:36 looks like a rack, head and face of a deer. I guess if you can see things in that perspective. I forget what it's called but I just thought that was pretty cool. Anybody else see it?

what kind of paint should you use.

2nd time doing this and only my 3rd KZfaq video. Not a pro and don't need to be one to do this

spend like the whole video swirling the oaint

awsome

just gonna paint happy little skulls, happy little skulls

thanx for sharing man

Why does my paint start to clump up and set when I start to move it around with the screwdriver??

Dude looks like a dragon.. badass.. im gonna try

is it ok if i do this on my electric guitar's body?

Hey how durable is it?

damn. i was ready to bad mouth your process. but it looks good.
