Got kinda swirly with a S Series Ibanez

Post by dayl »

This is a 07 Ibanez S 320 Ive been working on sealing and painting.
I spent ages getting the paint right and then screwed up the clear coat badly .. so I just left it sitting.

Then one of my kids saw a hydrodip vid and wanted to learn some things so I took him through it and we dipped/swirled a bunch of things... then I thought... may as well dip that 320.

So here it is. We weren't dipping in a deep enough bin so I had to kinda rush the swirl and pancake/flat dip it. I wasnt happy with the lower horn area so I dipped it again fvor the hell of it and got that black line etc... weird...not a proper swirl but Ilike it.

That's cool. It reminds me of those jawbreaker sweets.

it looks cool...I have attempted 2 swirls and yeah they both came out unique :rofl: .. I made the mistake both times of not using enough paint in the water. Am toying with the idea of doing another one because I was given like 10 4 litre buckets of various coloured enamel paint so at least I know I will use enough paint if I did it :rofl:

Looks pretty cool actually! What paints did you use? I see most people recommend magic marble paints, but can't seem to find it here.

Just rustoleum sprayed straight on the water. It can be done this way and look legit and proper etc, I just didnt spend enough time getting it right and figuring it out. Water and ambient temperature have to be right or you end up dragging a big blob of set spraypaint across the water instead of making a pattern :D

Yrah bro, I had someone here with cash in hand for it. He was buying my bass also. Then I couldn't find the battery cover and backing plates and it fell through.

Have another chap that's keen....and a LOT of FB low ballers as you do :lol: :lol:
