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
 
I need a tutorial! I still haven't painted a body. I usually run them clear because I don't have any experience with painting lexan!
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. 👍😎
