Lets see the finished product. Looks like the paint will be horrible from side view, about a quarter inch thick. Could be why people Dip them instead. ;)

can't find a picture on the quick. but this is another one i made with the same technique: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-bBRQUr6F02sXx40Oe7232ZSC0A9RBJR?usp=sharing it's really all about adding the right amount of water, so the excessive paint can just drop off. the paint is thick but not super thick, not more than 1,5mm after 5-6 layers of clearcoat. do you have any recommendations/pointers for hydro-dipping? i'd like to give it a try, but i'm somewhat put off by the idea of creating a whole bucket of liquid, chemical waste

@@edelwaldefroehlich4580 I don't think hydro-dipping uses much more paint than what you're doing, the paint just floats on top of the water.

[@AnnnSweeps]

did you mix anything with the acrylic?

[@edelwaldefroehlich4580]

just a bit of water.. otherwise the paint would be too thick

[@서대박대]

Amazing work, really beautiful!! Could tell me your procedure? sandpaper -> primer -> this video thing -> clear coat? I’d really like to try!

[@edelwaldefroehlich4580]

ja pretty much this. needs quite some time to dry before clear coating (i waited for 2 weeks or so)
