I wondered about that. I'm Pouring cement ashtrays that I plan to hydro dip and I thought that base coating with one of the colors first might camouflage where my fingers hold it during dipping. Glad someone else thought to base coat before dipping.
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. ;)
Making fun of people for the way they speak is kind of classist. But if you think his grammar is a good indicator of his painting abilities thats on you bud
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.
I know your comment is really old now (2 years) but, just in case you get notified - I had thought of the same idea but wondered if the paint would stick because the skull/item/object being painted is wet with water - before - it touches the paint. Do you use a special paint to adhere to a wet object?
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.
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
OFFICIAL ADAM let me guess? You're dipping a fidget spinner? If so, use oil paints like spray cans, I found purple and black quite cool, and use a twig to stir it around.
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!
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
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...
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???
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?
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!!:)
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.
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?
now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on RUclips 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.
+Luke Mucha There are several components to doing a pro job. One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested) definately the best course that I've heard of. Check out this super resource.
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
have you or anyone reading this used Rust-Oleum camouflage paint and this technique? I tried it today twice and the paint seems to dry on top of the water
I have a huge. Round it's FLAT It's a pelican sitting on wood. With a round frame around it. It's aluminum. I would love to do a hydro dip. But what could I use BESIDES a wheel barrel?
I did a lot of this in high school and found that metallic paints are pretty hard to work with. matte worked pretty well but i got my best results with satin. different brands worked differently too. also found that the longer you spray the worse the product. I usually didn't spray for more than a second for each ring.
This is old but I have a question, let's say I dipped two stainless steel marbles in all black, if the two marbles continuesly hit each other all the time, what effects with that have on the paint job
why don't you paint the skull before you dip it? like a base coat? you would probably have to wait for it to dry before dipping but you would not have any bare spots. done something similar with oil paint and paper.
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.
fenderstratguy thanks for telling me

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

@@thisaccountisntreal107 your opinion isn't real.
is classist even a word?
This color is the result of putting cabelas in a blender.
ezekiel burkley exactly
Super cool! Thanks for sharing. You learn through process I suppose.

Do you use a special paint to adhere to a wet object?
Yes, but if your item floats it's much harder.
It's been like 3 years but in case u get notified... Do u still get bubbles with this method?
Beautiful work
Thank you your tutorial was very helpful!
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 man! Thanks for the Video.
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.
Dude, I'm so glad ❤ I came across your channel! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 im wanting to hydro-dip Hot Wheels.
Thank you for this tutorial!
Fantastic video mate I'm going to try this tomorrow I had liked and subbed you my friend 😊😊😊
Looks cool thanks for the DIY 😄😄😄😄
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
Luke Mucha what kind of paint is the best to use for plastic
OFFICIAL ADAM let me guess? You're dipping a fidget spinner? If so, use oil paints like spray cans, I found purple and black quite cool, and use a twig to stir it around.
OFFICIAL ADAM
Paint that recomends adhears to plastic written on the can? You cant teach Commn Sence!
No Pro try learning to spell and formulate a proper sentence before insulting someone's intelligence.
young steve Shut Up Smart Azz oh did I not spell that wong.
Yes tried it on an 87 Moto 4. turned out pretty good but always clear coat or use clear flex seal rubber spray
What kind of clear coat
I saw this done on plastic model cars 15 years ago,glad its taken off onto other things and not died off
Wauw! i see some happy clouds right there🙏
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!
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
Really neat video
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
Crazy cool !
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.
Pretty cool!
Incredible much respect
Nice job !
😀awesome sound quality...!
That is cool!
Cool..great vid!
Your Bob ross impersonation is spot on
What kinds of paint are you using?? Waterbase paint, or Quick dry enamel paint?
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...
Very helpful video thanks
That's awesome
that looked so cool
WOW..Great..
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???
Also did you say what type of paint to use instead of metallic? I might have missed that part.
Very cool
Looks good, it looks like what is called a swirl dip.
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?
Looks cool
Cool idea.
how long did you have to wait to dry and did you prime it before hand? ?
I've seen that done too. looks a lot better, wish polish came in big bottles
Kinemaster for the win!! Great job man!! Keep up the awesome work!
Super Cool. I can't wait to try this with some other materials like stationary cards and picture frames

what spray do you use - regular spray dries quickly
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.

Is it the water temperature?
would it stick better if water was hot? or doesn't make a difference?
Hi do you not need to use activator one the last layer of paint before dipping the object?
Were all your paints oil based? If they weren't that could explain the separation.
now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on RUclips
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.
Nice Jordan's
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
+Luke Mucha There are several components to doing a pro job. One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested) definately the best course that I've heard of. Check out this super resource.
Hi, do you think I can do it with a transparent flat glass?
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
Luke Mucha must the water be warm or cold?
tanks boss, ima go try tis on me paintballin mask! cheers mate!
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
Why does my paint start to clump up and set when I start to move it around with the screwdriver??
Kool nice
can yoi do this woth plastic? if so what kind of paint should i use
have you or anyone reading this used Rust-Oleum camouflage paint and this technique? I tried it today twice and the paint seems to dry on top of the water
My spray paint stuck to the screwdriver. When I tried dipping ceramic mug it made a layer on the surface and didn't turn out.
can you use any kind of spray paint ?
So you don't need to add anything else to the water, besides the spray paint?
do you use a star or a straight screwdriver
cool video
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?
MUITO BOM
what kind of paint should you use.
Do a base coat on the skull first
I have a huge. Round it's FLAT It's a pelican sitting on wood. With a round frame around it. It's aluminum. I would love to do a hydro dip. But what could I use BESIDES a wheel barrel?
Damn this guy was high af,
He played with that screwdriver in paint for a minute!!!
hello, it`s posible to paint a glass bottle,,,,,,and what should I do next so that the paint doesn't come off?
awsome
I did a lot of this in high school and found that metallic paints are pretty hard to work with. matte worked pretty well but i got my best results with satin. different brands worked differently too. also found that the longer you spray the worse the product. I usually didn't spray for more than a second for each ring.
And also if you get notified, can this be done on glass, metal and such material, do reply 🥂
u use cold water or warm water?
is it ok if i do this on my electric guitar's body?
I got spray paint but I need some ideas on what to hydro dip
I did my controller face 😂
could you do this with plastic things say like a paint ball mask or metal like a paintball gun??
Would this work on a blank drumstick
what temperature do you do it at?
what r u gonna do with the skulls after
If you tape painters tape on certain parts and dip the object in, will paint leak through the tape?
no scotch tape works
Buy a camera stand, it will help a lot as you can see.
You're overdoing it mixing the colors in using your screwdriver!
This is old but I have a question, let's say I dipped two stainless steel marbles in all black, if the two marbles continuesly hit each other all the time, what effects with that have on the paint job
Queen Of Cards it will remove the paint
why don't you paint the skull before you dip it? like a base coat? you would probably have to wait for it to dry before dipping but you would not have any bare spots. done something similar with oil paint and paper.
damn. i was ready to bad mouth your process. but it looks good.
