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?
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.
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.
+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.
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!
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.
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
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
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???
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!!:)
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.
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.
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...
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?
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?
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?
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?
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
Regular water. The oil based paints floats and the water tension forms around the skull under water. Using metallic paints have flecks that don't stick to the paint. They tend to sink in the water or are in the solvents. Creating those "blank spots" he mentioned. Which is why he was having issues. I used to quick cure my motorcycle parts by painting them as normal. Then place them in a bucket fo water. Within minutes instead of hours. I can put the part back on the bike.
I tried dipping a deer skull with paint and primer combo and I mixed hot and cold water into a pail and for some reason it did not work for me. I believe the reason it did not work is because the water was warmer instead of cold which may be caused my paint to dry fast. I also could not take a pen and make cool lines because the paint stuck to the pen. Any thoughts?
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
now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on UA-cam 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 made you spray paint the raccoon skull a dead raccoon with no Flesh on it just the skull in the bone how did you think that one up that was a good idea sir I never thought of that one
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

@@thisaccountisntreal107 your opinion isn't real.
is classist even a word?

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?
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.
This color is the result of putting cabelas in a blender.
ezekiel burkley exactly
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
You're overdoing it mixing the colors in using your screwdriver!

Dude, I'm so glad ❤ I came across your channel! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 im wanting to hydro-dip Hot Wheels.
I saw this done on plastic model cars 15 years ago,glad its taken off onto other things and not died off
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???
can i do this with a human skull i got a few laying around the house from previous murders.
jk
Dennis Chaples Call 911 and ask. It's the spray paint dipping help desk.

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

Do a base coat on the skull first
LOL. At 3:52 you can see a little jumping spider looking it him on the lip of the bucket to the left.
ROCKETRY XZACH. no fuckin life
Its was like.. "doing it wrong bro"
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.
Why does my paint start to clump up and set when I start to move it around with the screwdriver??
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.
if you put 1 and a half tblsp pee gallon of water the paint will not dry on the surface before you sip the object.
2nd time doing this and only my 3rd UA-cam video. Not a pro and don't need to be one to do this
Ignore the idiots
I can't find your other UA-cam videos for doing this. ? Where are they?
I got spray paint but I need some ideas on what to hydro dip
I did my controller face 😂
Wauw! i see some happy clouds right there🙏
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...
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
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?
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 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?
Were all your paints oil based? If they weren't that could explain the separation.
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?
So you don't need to add anything else to the water, besides the spray paint?
Your Bob ross impersonation is spot on
the dimensions and form of the object you are dipping can change the looks
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?
Damn this guy was high af,
He played with that screwdriver in paint for a minute!!!
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.
😀awesome sound quality...!
What kinds of paint are you using?? Waterbase paint, or Quick dry enamel paint?
hello, it`s posible to paint a glass bottle,,,,,,and what should I do next so that the paint doesn't come off?
Looks good, it looks like what is called a swirl dip.
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
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.
Put your object in the bottom of the bucket first...then add the paint...then lift it out
Awesome! But I want to know if this is just an ordinary water with no chemicals added? Thanks!
water from the hose. nothing added
Luke Mucha Ok Thanks! btw how much time do I need before I pull it up?
Regular water. The oil based paints floats and the water tension forms around the skull under water. Using metallic paints have flecks that don't stick to the paint.

Does it only work for skulls?
this will come in very handy when I find all my wildlife skulls
Hi do you not need to use activator one the last layer of paint before dipping the object?
I tried dipping a deer skull with paint and primer combo and I mixed hot and cold water into a pail and for some reason it did not work for me. I believe the reason it did not work is because the water was warmer instead of cold which may be caused my paint to dry fast. I also could not take a pen and make cool lines because the paint stuck to the pen. Any thoughts?
I’m having the same problem. Did you ever figure out what to do/not to do?
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
spend like the whole video swirling the oaint
would it stick better if water was hot? or doesn't make a difference?
Luke Mucha must the water be warm or cold?
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
Looks cool thanks for the DIY 😄😄😄😄
And also if you get notified, can this be done on glass, metal and such material, do reply 🥂
Fantastic video mate I'm going to try this tomorrow I had liked and subbed you my friend 😊😊😊
Buy a camera stand, it will help a lot as you can see.
what spray do you use - regular spray dries quickly
Also did you say what type of paint to use instead of metallic? I might have missed that part.
Pretty cool thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really neat video
If you tape painters tape on certain parts and dip the object in, will paint leak through the tape?
no scotch tape works
now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on UA-cam
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.
Very helpful video thanks
how long did you have to wait to dry and did you prime it before hand? ?
What made you spray paint the raccoon skull a dead raccoon with no Flesh on it just the skull in the bone how did you think that one up that was a good idea sir I never thought of that one
Its a very common thing in Wisconsin to paint, hydro dip, or vinyl wrap European mounts/skulls.
Super Cool. I can't wait to try this with some other materials like stationary cards and picture frames
could you do this with plastic things say like a paint ball mask or metal like a paintball gun??
this is spray paint not actual dip, actual dip comes in sheets and the activator turns the sheet to ink. paint just sticks to the object
But if you scratch out the film
And it's cheaper
+SparkiiVendii Gaming one square meter sheet is $50+. 4 colors of paint is $20 and covers a whole atv plus some. creative look and cheaper
Beautiful work
blotches most likely came from not whipping the excess paint away before pulling it out tje water
Yes just sand the plastic and any enamel paint will work
Why is this different in that you cant dip it more than once?
can yoi do this woth plastic? if so what kind of paint should i use
Can we also dry all the material we hydro dip in a stove for 350 degrees
As long as the material is heat safe then yes you could
Can you hydro dip with one color because the object im gonna hydro dip has the secondary color already.
if you prime it first with a coat of paint, it will adhere better.
I've seen that done too. looks a lot better, wish polish came in big bottles
There’s this invention out there that is called a tripod you might want to check it out
How do you not know what happen to a fox skull?
Why am I getting bubbles when I hydro paint
Hi, do you think I can do it with a transparent flat glass?
You don’t need to remove the paint when it’s in the water just shake it
why not submerge what you are painting first connect it to strings? Then paint the water and pull it straight out of the container.
Nice Jordan's
Does this work on plastic or aluminum? I want to paint my AR 15 a cool pattern, but i don't want to have it it chip or anything.
It's paint. It will chip if your spray it or dip it. I sprayed mine
Thank you your tutorial was very helpful!
u use cold water or warm water?
Spray painting water is called Swirl Painting.
Thank you for this tutorial!
Could you dip modelplanes orcars for the effets
