BlackKnight Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello Everyone, I have finally moved back to the UK and set up my stuff for painting again. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas for cool swirl combinations? I have just done a red yellow swirl(see pic) and Im thinking it is missing something. maybe a touch of white might go nicely. The guitar is just a test body which is why its bumpy and stuff. Its just to see what colours look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hey Bro, I see swirl is no more a mistery for you I'm so concentrate on neck I stopped any trial. I have to begin again. For that.... I really liked the GMC and the Blue MC. I don't see tha red-yellow a good-looking combination! Did you try the pink-yellow-purple (or green)? That seems me a nice combination. BTW the white does't seem a good choice as 3rd color, blue may be or orange, fuchsia. I really don't know cuz it dosn't inspire me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 On idea I'm toying with for a re-finish is a white basecoat, with a layer of varnish which has a load of Glow-in-the-dark or UV reactive pigment, (probably green glow) then swirling black over the top. The pigment I've got is white in normal light, so it'd look like a black and white swirl, until it got under the UV, and turned glowy green and black. That Red/yellow swirl could probably do with a darker accent, like dark blue, or maybe black. Blue would be good as it would then have all 3 sides of teh colour wheel.

BlackKnight Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hey, how is that swirl tutorial coming? ← Yeah, well.. I have done the picutres and the video and had done the setup section but in the move back to the uk the html was 'lost' so I will need to redo the begginning which is a bit annoying. But it isnt forgotton. I am trying to fit it into studying in prep for uni. I am trying to compile a collection of differant swirl colors, I have started an online album with some of them which may be of interest to you. --> My Images. I will be adding different ones to this every time i do them. When the tut is done this will be improved to show what colours i used and base coat colour etc...
