YOU TELL HOW NOW!!!

Can't wait to see what majin comes up with.

I'm trying home hydro dipping with some paint
I have this idea on my head but it's hard to transfer lol
So far it's half black backer with half white backer followed by another black backer
I think long next trial I'm going to hold the black backer farther away and try to apply it a little lighter see if it hits more of the fade I'm wanting

 

[CertifiedMike]

hold

If you change nothing, its a total success!!! Its cool AF!!!

It's not too hard. Prep. Clean. Idea. Spray. If you want graphics- lay it out first-spray first color. Remove graphics- second color. Dark colors first.

You can use old 2 liter bottles to practice on. You can buy 'blemished' bodies on ebay cheap too.
Laying out some masking tape and spraying a basic paint job really isn't hard. Its pretty fun too.

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

well Mike beat me to it lol, but you can use the trash clear plastic packaging pieces too for practice

 

[Lukedavis]

Thanks for the tips everyone!

I taught that dude ALL that stuff!
WOW!!! I WISH!!!
This is a COOL collection of how-to's!!!!
Maybe some day I'll get good enough to teach!
I'm so out of practice with everything!
Warm (painting) weather is almost here! I might get crazy and try some fancy graphics if I feel good about painting like I used to. It was FUN!
