A new painting tech-neek I'm messing with... Swirling

Post by grimlok »

Hey guys, I don't post here much now a days. Some of you may remembers me.
I paint some things some times.
Usually while high.
Just trialing a new painting teck-neek.
Note, I have not tried this on an xbox... yet.
I have seen 360s done like this.
I'm only doing it to an xbox case as a test run for a guitar I'm building.
I've been doing it to scrap mdf for a couple of weeks, Stepping up to an xbox in the next couple, hopefully.


This is not my vid, But a very good example of a swirl. I'm still working on getting just enough randomness into the swirls to be effective, it's easy to over do it.
And just as easy to under do it.
Auto enamel is rather heavy to begin with and it can be hard to get the right viscosity between the water trough, the catalyst and the paint. Alot of trial and error to get the recipe just right, But when you do, the results are pretty sick imho.

What's up Grimmy? That's a badass process, do it on an xbox but in Blue/Orange swirl.
