Another Q About Swirl...

[Ibaneznubcake!]

once i got my guitar body sanded down.

should i use a white under coat then spray paint it blue then dip it?

trying to get the same affect as blackknight or like in the vid was it a green under coat? thx.

So i went up to the town today and got the stuff i need to Test the Swirling

Oil paint from the local model shop

and borax from Boots

colours i got was

black

blue

green

My first go at it did not go too good i put the paint in

black

blue

green

and the green had been got flooded by the other colours (mainley blue) there was no green in site:S

2 go.

went a little better as for i did not as much borax as i did last time very little lol^^ this time cuz it was only a small bucket.

I did not bother with the green

I put in the black then the Blue

the black went across all over the surface then the blue in lumps.

to i tested with my peice of skirting lol^__^

no undercoating

turn out like this.

3 go.

went the same but with a white undercoating.

swirl kinda came out shity the little blobs showing the white coat all over it>.<

4th n 5th

i got hold of some red(yays)

so i put in

black

blue

red

for some reson my red ate the blue....0_o..
