How to: Swirl guitar finish with Magic Marble paints

Can I ask if you used anything to "thicken" the water so the paint floats at the top? I was excited to try trhis process and when I filled a garbage can with water and was adding the paint to the water, it didn't float. There is the Magic Medium for thickening the water but according to the directions I would need to add a couple pounds of the stuff.

show !

Funny i use to do this with nail polish on my finger nails years ago 💅💅💅

Excellent Job, is really amazing to see your work, that make us so happy as a musician. In the future i will build my guitar of dream with colors special and desing. I already know about you. Regards

Is the water temperature key? I am wondering if I have the water too hot? I noticed my brand new marbling
paint was happy to sink!!!!

Awesome!

Thanks ! That's the best video on hydrodipping a guitar that I've seen. Beautiful job, well done !

Hello, what kind of paint is that?

What type of paint is magic marble paint? is it enamel, is it acrylic? i can't see on their website.

What brand was the paint you used?

That is just exquisite!!!

What product do you put in the water so the paint doesn't mix?

Very very nice

How many oz of magic marble do you use

Going to give this a go.

Great 👍👍👍

Can you dip plastic model planes and cars

Awesome ❤

How much corn starch per gallon of water? or liter of water?

Fabulous!! I see having a go in my future!

Good afternoon, I need help, I'm trying to make a swirl or also known as marbeling, I've made great advances, I'm a luthier I would like to paint my guitars by immersion in water, I'll report my advances to simplify

1-) water density: I have already achieved a good density with the following products: CMC, carrageenan and emulsifier (nestle)
2: Paints: I managed to make the paints float and make drawings under these solutions already listed in the previous item, I have already used the following paints, food dyes, water-based paints, acrylic paints and special paints from the pebeo brand made for marbling
3-) I can transfer my drawings perfectly to plain paper or potassium sulfate treated paper,
4-) I need to make this happen on guitars that I have to apply a sealant base, I was told to use the white spray from the brand rust oleum ultracover 2x, I apply it on the wood, however unfortunately, every time I do the immersion in any of the paints the drawings are destroyed and run down the body of the guitar, they just don't stick.
Please, I need to know which product to apply under the wood after I have applied the rust oleum base so that the designs remain on the guitar.

great work !!! I'm a luthier and I try to swirl or marbeling on guitars, I bought the pebeo marbeling paints, and I got a formula ready for the paints to float easily, but when I apply the paint or background on the guitar and do the dip, the designs run and don't stick to the piece ! I've been trying for almost a year, please what base paint should I use to make the swirl stick to the guitar? thank you very much

Did you use Borax in the water or is it just plain tap water

How did you stop the paint drying on the surface?

How much paint did you use?

Cool. I may try that on one of my guitars...maybe.

Wowww💙🖤🤍

This is awesome!!! Great video too.

That looks so awesome

Sensacional.

The stupidity of the hair dryer aside, good video.

Cool video and good job. And what kind of varnish should be used to cover such paints?

I'm having a problem finding the right size container (70cmx40cm = 27.5"x16.7",) where did you get your container?, It looks like we are dipping the same solid body, Fender Ultra Stratocaster & at 18.5" total height would need at least a 21"-25" Depth, any suggestions.....🎸🎸

Very nice!

Hola cuál sería el secreto para poder hacer ese tipo de trabajo? Probé con pintura acrílica, el agua a cierta temperatura. Y nunca queda así la pintura. Se va al fondo. Se usa alguna en especial?

What was your water temperature? I tried this and the paint dried up too fast.

Great video

Do you have to prepare the guitar or can you paint over the existing paint job ?

Did you have to sand the paint at all to get it smooth for the clear coat?

Thats pretty damn cool

Thanks for this video, very helpful! Also the guitar looked awesome 👍

Maaf cat jenis apa yang digunakan nya ? Terimakasih

Magico

Mucho cuidado en meter un cuerpo de valor en el agua, he tenido una amarga experiencia, al hacer un swirling a un cuerpo de telecaste, al dia siguiente de sumergirla en el agua, veo que se me ha abierto la madera desde un agujero que coge el golpeador, NO VUELVO A HACER NINGUN SWIRLING MAS CON UNA GUITARRA DE VALOR, quien avisa nó és traidor, dice el refran, ahh y soy profecional en el pintado de electricas.

what is that paint .normal paint or

When you say you put on a coat of shellac did you brush or spray that on and what product did you use..

I'm so hypper , cuz this guy is way to chill

I tried My first Hydro dip on old Peavey Foundation Bass. Gray base coat. Used Majic Marble paints and, well needless to say, Back to the drawing board. Didn't get full coverage and the magic marble bubbled. Any suggestions? Did bubbling occur due to water temp? Rain water,... should not have been a bigg issue.

Brilliant.
