Spray Paint "Hydro-dip"

[@fenderstratguy]

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.

[@rubandzxo]

fenderstratguy thanks for telling me

[@williambianchi2006]

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.

[@airbrushken5339]

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. ;)

[@jossimbyr]

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

[@thisaccountisntreal107]

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

[@LegeFles]

@@thisaccountisntreal107 your opinion isn't real.

[@danielhoward8354]

is classist even a word?

[@lukemucha6522]

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

[@trjllz]

Luke Mucha what kind of paint is the best to use for plastic

[@appeljoosh7621]

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.

[@NoPro1962]

OFFICIAL ADAM Paint that recomends adhears to plastic written on the can? You cant teach Commn Sence!

[@2Much2lose]

No Pro try learning to spell and formulate a proper sentence before insulting someone's intelligence.

[@NoPro1962]

young steve Shut Up Smart Azz oh did I not spell that wong.

[@highwaystar8310]

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.

[@GarrisonFall]

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?

[@kfiscal01]

Yes, but if your item floats it's much harder.

[@caseburnett3482]

It's been like 3 years but in case u get notified... Do u still get bubbles with this method?

[@Thunderb0lt-64]

Dude, I'm so glad ❤ I came across your channel! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 im wanting to hydro-dip Hot Wheels.

[@BbbbbBBbbBk]

Only use oil based paints for no separates

[@kentarheelsrock1242]

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???

[@lukemucha6522]

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

[@dalealumbaugh9861]

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...

[@ideastorestorytime8923]

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

[@zeffmoreno3108]

I saw this done on plastic model cars 15 years ago,glad its taken off onto other things and not died off

[@aaronlutgring6393]

So you don't need to add anything else to the water, besides the spray paint?

[@robira1313]

Why does my paint start to clump up and set when I start to move it around with the screwdriver??

[@javan4726]

Luke Mucha must the water be warm or cold?

[@ezekielburkley1461]

This color is the result of putting cabelas in a blender.

[@ball_boy._centralcentral9878]

ezekiel burkley exactly

[@michaels.8244]

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.

[@sirpfa]

Hi do you not need to use activator one the last layer of paint before dipping the object?

[@perfectekrul2407]

Wauw! i see some happy clouds right there🙏

[@grouseman1994]

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!

[@lukemucha6522]

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

[@spinnito]

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

[@j_m0nterey267]

What kinds of paint are you using?? Waterbase paint, or Quick dry enamel paint?

[@cevohs]

Were all your paints oil based? If they weren't that could explain the separation.

[@d.porcell4204]

would it stick better if water was hot? or doesn't make a difference?

[@danielkovac2425]

what spray do you use - regular spray dries quickly

[@stevepartington1423]

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

[@paulgaglione5740]

now that looks good this is like the best diy spray paint job I seen on KZbin 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.

[@ssue4q]

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?

[@mushroomsamba17]

I got spray paint but I need some ideas on what to hydro dip

[@retr0knife894]

I did my controller face 😂

[@maryzakiandourrugrats4671]

Does it only work for skulls?

[@rook5712]

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

[@bork116]

Queen Of Cards it will remove the paint

[@mmahon512]

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.

[@ssue4q]

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?

[@domschm6599]

Your Bob ross impersonation is spot on

[@lukemucha6522]

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

[@markioivanis4594]

+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.

[@manofallmasterofnone1020]

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?

[@saradavis448]

I’m having the same problem. Did you ever figure out what to do/not to do?

[@michaelstewart4114]

u use cold water or warm water?

[@charleswalls9619]

how long did you have to wait to dry and did you prime it before hand? ?

[@evandunford2282]

can yoi do this woth plastic? if so what kind of paint should i use

[@aaronlutgring6393]

Also did you say what type of paint to use instead of metallic? I might have missed that part.

[@archiebenson6146]

Looks cool thanks for the DIY 😄😄😄😄

[@bigred675]

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.

[@freakyturtlegaming9442]

If you tape painters tape on certain parts and dip the object in, will paint leak through the tape?

[@lukemucha6522]

no scotch tape works

[@lukemucha6522]

Yes tried it on an 87 Moto 4. turned out pretty good but always clear coat or use clear flex seal rubber spray

[@kennyweigand7982]

What kind of clear coat

[@vickikgibson9470]

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!!:)

[@HollywoodMGB3]

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

[@fckinnonstick9919]

Awesome! But I want to know if this is just an ordinary water with no chemicals added? Thanks!

[@lukemucha6522]

water from the hose. nothing added

[@fckinnonstick9919]

Luke Mucha Ok Thanks! btw how much time do I need before I pull it up?

[@thesilentsoldier8801]

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.

[@johnnylinden7001]

do you use a star or a straight screwdriver

[@DANIELTOMASSETTI]

hello, it`s posible to paint a glass bottle,,,,,,and what should I do next so that the paint doesn't come off?

[@ELToroPoopoo1]

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.

[@isaiahtaylor5758]

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

[@lukemucha6522]

Its a very common thing in Wisconsin to paint, hydro dip, or vinyl wrap European mounts/skulls.

[@m.n.9496]

can you use this method on other things, such as wood, glass or plastic?

[@lukemucha6522]

plastic and glass not sure about wood but I bet it's possible

[@m.n.9496]

Thank you

[@jwallace2913]

+Eviee Sohma If you try this on wood make sure it is painted first, white for the best results. Otherwise the bare wood will soak up water and dry all jacked up.

[@galencarroll6260]

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.

[@guntimes9908]

It's paint. It will chip if your spray it or dip it. I sprayed mine

[@Jorgemartinez-gt7cr]

can you use any kind of spray paint ?

[@staceynave]

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?

[@lukemucha6522]

2nd time doing this and only my 3rd KZbin video. Not a pro and don't need to be one to do this

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Ignore the idiots

[@ssue4q]

I can't find your other KZbin videos for doing this. ? Where are they?

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Fantastic video mate I'm going to try this tomorrow I had liked and subbed you my friend 😊😊😊

[@hankgaming8689]

Do you cold, warm or hot water???

[@Joabinho2]

Hi, do you think I can do it with a transparent flat glass?

[@varnikatiwari2448]

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.

[@kimfox5071]

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

[@hammerfaced420]

what kind of paint should you use.

[@PaperandME]

😀awesome sound quality...!

[@luckyluciano4075]

You're overdoing it mixing the colors in using your screwdriver!

[@gunrupthd977]

Can you hydro dip with one color because the object im gonna hydro dip has the secondary color already.

[@charleswalls9619]

have you tried any plastic pieces

[@g00niez]

Instead of swooshing the water can I dump it out then pull my item out?

[@lukemucha6522]

you would risk getting smudging the paint on the side or bottom of the bucket or get extra paint on the item

[@jamirrabryant3695]

can l get spray paint for hats and do it

[@lukemucha6522]

Jamirra Bryant not sure

[@charleyeaves8669]

could you do this with plastic things say like a paint ball mask or metal like a paintball gun??

[@vibeitwitharchit]

Can we also dry all the material we hydro dip in a stove for 350 degrees

[@lukemucha6522]

As long as the material is heat safe then yes you could

[@Tacomeatfan]

that looked so cool

[@hadleycurran8586]

thats amazing do you sell your finished products

[@lukemucha6522]

I just do little projects for the wife

[@hadleycurran8586]

well you should consider it you have an amazing talent

[@lindagonzalez1529]

Question is what kind of paint? Acrylic or oil?

[@robira1313]

Spray paint is typically oil-based.

[@vibeitwitharchit]

And also if you get notified, can this be done on glass, metal and such material, do reply 🥂

[@gelosaturos6125]

is it ok if i do this on my electric guitar's body?

[@infamouspbd]

what r u gonna do with the skulls after

[@dennischaples1928]

[@voxsikv3n0m74]

Really neat video

[@munamamasalagat9708]

what kind of water do you use?? cold or hot?

[@lukemucha6522]

Muna Mamasalagat from watching other videos both work. as long as the object has no oils or wax on it your good

[@dillonpatterson3542]

Do a base coat on the skull first

[@Pandonaut]

Can you paint something in 1 solid color using this method?

[@lukemucha6522]

yes

[@ExplodingHeadGiraffe]

Yes but why not spray paint directly onto the item?

[@lukemucha6522]

+websailor286 that would be a better idea

[@Pandonaut]

Ehhhh

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Pretty cool thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@fishingtheeast4898]

I know u need oil base paint. Do I need cold or warm water or it don't matter ??

[@imrisingtothesky2006]

+William Coder luke warm

[@carterharrington]

Super Cool. I can't wait to try this with some other materials like stationary cards and picture frames

[@buddygrimes4901]

Would this work on a blank drumstick

[@coolhanthealien4309]

Kinemaster for the win!! Great job man!! Keep up the awesome work!

[@jymebale5545]

Looks good, it looks like what is called a swirl dip.

[@mrjimjimjimmyjim9824]

[@djdude1256]

Does it have to be hot water

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

Pretty cool!

What do you do with the paint/water after?

[@abobbybaby4]

heavydiezel ; because he ran out of human skulls!

[@sherribarris1287]

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

[@lukemucha6522]

I've seen that done too. looks a lot better, wish polish came in big bottles

[@JkDubbed]

Why is this different in that you cant dip it more than once?

[@StuartizmDesignsLLC]

Cool..great vid!

[@williambianchi2006]

Where are people getting these skulls?

[@lukemucha6522]

The woods and from what I shoot.

[@jacobme1031]

[@thomaskunkel8339]

Would this work with bed liner
