Question did you have to put borax in the water to help the paint float? Hope I get an answer I don't know how old this video is but I'm doing a guitar too but iv already messed it up once with the spray paint it dried too quick and clumped up and wanted to do this next and it looks like you had great success.
Wow! That is so cool! I have never seen anything like this; that looks like a lot of fun.

Hello! I really enjoyed your presentation, or the best technique to paint your guitar, but tell me one thing What kind of paint that you put in the water? It is oil paint? It is acrylic paint? .. The result is FANTASTIC ... loved it ... please answer me, ok ?! hugs
Thanks, there are a lot of videos showing the method, but not what is used so that is so neat. It would be a fun technique to try on other things besides guitars. Does the temp of the water need to be a special temperature?
Good attempt guys, one question though. Did you put borax in the water to lower the water surface tension? You may find that's why the paint hardened so fast.
Hey dude, sorry, can you tellme the name of the colors paints? And what is the white color, its a special paint for guitars or is a simple aerosol paint? Sorry about my english but i dont speak english im from mexico and i want paint my guitar like a you. Saludos.
I thought it looked good.. those complaining don't have the balls to try doing something like this, buying a guitar, attempting to strip it down, dip it and then attempting to put it back together and still be playable... There are better paints and colors out there.. but I like it. Good job.
Part of the reason the paint dried so quickly was because you were painting in the sun. My auto-body friends always tell me to never paint in the direct sun. It still came-out looking sweet though! My question is, can you sand the finish smooth without ruining the swirl? The dip seems to make a rough surface from the different colors not mixing. Although you're going to clear-coat it, I doubt that would smooth it out. So, is the swirl sand-able?
Nothing Personal but Its so Weird a pattern Its Likable = An Actual compliment … looks Like a Christmas candy Design Of Those color combinations. Dipping Works Best with Oil base paints, I didn't Know testors model paint Was Oil. Which Place is Best/Cheapest for Humbrol Brand?
If you you'd do me a huge favor.... I'm getting ready to do that, I bought all of the paints today (same brand) and I was just wondering... -How much water and borax did you use? -What temperature was your water? And -Did you thin the paints at all? If you could answer those, I'd be very appreciative.
YA NO WHAT AS LONG AS YOU LIKE IT THAT'S ALL THAT FRICKIN MATTERS MAN! You were doing a tutorial & showing people how You do this & using whatever damn colors you wanted to correct?! It's a test and trial thing you never know what it's going to turn out like when you're doing this . I mean some people just need to shut their f---ing mouth because I don't recall you ever asking anyone if you did it correctly or not! And it looks completely crazy awesome! Great job man & please keep up the great videos on here! ❤️
Dude, didn't think that would come out so well. Massive props for trying that with your first guitar as well, it looks awesome! got a any pictures of it all screwed back together with neck and hardware?
Thanks for posting, that looks very cool and it's totally your own. Ignore the critics who don't like your colors, that's such a subjective thing and yours came out great. Their axes will look pretty Plain Jane next to yours.
Can you tell me if you had a water heater in the tub for 78 degrees before swirling? And is this project also done with borax? I have tried with borax many times and the paint came off the second time like a film and didn't stick to crap. The first time the paints (that I had thinned from larger rustoleum oil based paints) stuck but ran down smearing all together..but at least it wasn't a filmy mess. What am I doing wrong pleeeease . THank you soooo much from anyone who can help me please win my 10 year old's vote of approval. Single mom with a very artistic son so I boys need all the help they can get! Please y'all? Thank you for your time.
..does the paint give off any fumes?.. i wanna do a small swirl test on a small lamp, can i do that in my place?.. does the water have to be hot or warm?.. ..and does the borax have to settle for 30 minutes?
+ArtEWorld Testors enamels made for plastic models. Any hobby shop carries them. You can probably get them on Amazon. Also Squadron and a ton of other online model suppliers.
@dtkourt1995 I sanded the guitar down smooth to bare wood ( Optional ). You only have to sand off the top layer of paint. I used a couple cans of white primer so that the colors would be brighter after the guitar-swirling. I also sanding in between coats to retain smoothness. Thats it basically, If you do this make sure you add 1.5 tablespoons of borax for every gallon of water used. Make sure the water is 72 - 78 Degrees Fahrenheit.
any guitar is a very nice guitar. most pros prefer cheaper ones so they can set it up how they want. looks like that's what you're doin' here. great job!
i like how original it looks. i would never have more than one guitar like this, but if you had a cheap on like an epiphone SG, why not make it look original and stuff? its not like the stock paintjobs are very good anyway...
There are too many cruel, rude comments on here. The result is not that bad, especially for a backyard job. Personally, I'd have used fewer colours, and complementary ones. Perhaps red, blue, yellow and purple - not black!
O.k....ima start with my plastic fone case..,maybe a few bic lighters...oh and def a glass bottles (tape the labels to keep original look)..prolly a brim of a ballcap as well.all readily available! Thanks for the input
@vevosucks28 I used Testor Enamel paints. There model car / plane enamels. Stay away from Folkart and Americana enamels. ( There too thick and wont disperse ) If you can, order humbrol enamels offline.
It looks cool, but one tip, get a bigger tub, and move the guitar back and forth slowly to get the most effect possible! You did the best you could with such a small tub so kudos
Every time I watch these vids I learn something new... I like the way you zig zag the guitar body in the paint to get that awesome look...
Dunno what you all talking about, i like it!
What do you do with the Guitar after swirling? Clear coat?

Testors enamel
very cool man, came out great! So is that a big vat of water so the oil based paint doesn't blend?
nice color dude..do we have to spray lacquer or clear after that??
what materials do you use ? are they easy to find ? Looks insane and I got the need to give it a try !
Hi! Nice job!! There is only water, cold water? Thanks!
Some people just don't have appreciation for fine art looks great man :D
Nice !! ... Can you clear coat this ?? (automotive clear ?) ... won't the enamel react with clear ?
Thanks, there are a lot of videos showing the method, but not what is used so that is so neat. It would be a fun technique to try on other things besides guitars. Does the temp of the water need to be a special temperature?
it should be warm. then the paint wont stiffen up when you swirl it like the orange in this video! :)
78 degrees farenheit, or 23 degrees celcius
Good Question Did he borax the water First or Plain water Or Substitute Paint Rising Additive?
Good attempt guys, one question though. Did you put borax in the water to lower the water surface tension? You may find that's why the paint hardened so fast.

It's really nice to see someone do this to a guitar that isn't a strat.
looks sweet. came out way better than i was thinking it would. may have to try this myself.

what's wrong with the colors? I think that looks amazing honestly
Some ppl like it, some dont. The thing is: who's playing loved it. BTW, what kind of paints are those? Like, acrylic, oil, common,... Tx!
Looks cool but what do you do with the waste water polluted with oil based paints?
That's an awesome work man well done. What kinda paint did you use for that work?
did you put borax in the water?
people are trippin, thats one of the best looking guitars ive seen, props
Wow that´s awesome.. what kind of paint do you use?? and.. can you do that with an x box controller too?
Dude, didn't think that would come out so well. Massive props for trying that with your first guitar as well, it looks awesome! got a any pictures of it all screwed back together with neck and hardware?
wow it looks a lot nicer than i thought it would
Extremely cool. How much of the testors paints were involved?!?
It turned out great! Congratulations on the new looks and your will to do it yourself.
Awesome love colors is that water and paint how do you keep paint on
So many fantastic colours...
The winds of Thor are blowing cold while you deep fried that sg :) good job
Thanks for posting, that looks very cool and it's totally your own. Ignore the critics who don't like your colors, that's such a subjective thing and yours came out great. Their axes will look pretty Plain Jane next to yours.
is this why humbrol paint is better? I can see the paint was drying on the surface before you were ready.
So you basically used enamel paint on water and dipped the guitar in there, sounds like something really easy.
Hi from the UK!! JayradIceVains, what paint did you use for this? and was the water temp at a certain heat?? please reply. Thanks!!!
can you please tell me what kind of paint puppets you do when you practice? greetings from Turkey
Can you tell me if you had a water heater in the tub for 78 degrees before swirling? And is this project also done with borax?

Hey dude, do u use any type of Borax or something else to make the colors swim? Thank you :)
wow, it came out way cooler than i expected!
@Winterhe4rt but think of all the crazy random splatters of paint. and maybe he has a meaning for choosing these colors. either way, its his guitar.
so you put the guitar in the water?wont that screw up the wood and make it all soggy and water logged?
Cool, did you use borax?
neato! Not sure I'd do this to any of my guitars, but I love the idea that every single item you did this to would be 100% unique.
@Winterhe4rt im not a fan of the colors either, but its his guitar! and art isnt supposed to make sense. its art!
Bro which colour u hv used. Is it water or oil u puted mix colour
@JayradIceVains Do you have to still gloss the guitar afterwards or does the paint just do the job?
Amazing choice of colors. I love it
..does the paint give off any fumes?.. i wanna do a small swirl test on a small lamp, can i do that in my place?.. does the water have to be hot or warm?..
..and does the borax have to settle for 30 minutes?
That looks so freaking awesome! I'll definitly do this with one of my guitars!
okay, that is pretty stellar!
This is magical... what paints are those?

Right... Thank You.
What's kind of colour u used pls , it's looks v. Thin color thanks .nidhal ,Australia , Melbourne
That is very cool!! I would choose different colors but hey we all have different tast.
Finished pics?! Looks awesome!
The ultimate hippie guitar.

Sir what is borax?
You have unmounted all the guitar, you can see if it was plywood or not, is not it? What kind of wood is this guitar? and what year is it?
that looks SO sick
I love the outcome. Would be nicer if you included the reassemble.
Thanks for sharing
Blessings
did you use borax in the water or was the paint just put directly on?
any guitar is a very nice guitar. most pros prefer cheaper ones so they can set it up how they want. looks like that's what you're doin' here. great job!
This may sound dumb, but does swirl painting it affect the playability of the guitar, and after you clear coat it, how long will it stay?
was that sg already white when you bought it? If yes, where did you buy it?
did you use water as separator paint or other chemical liquid.
actually does look really cool, looks like something people would play in the 80s, BUT THT MAKES IT EVEN BETER
i like how original it looks. i would never have more than one guitar like this, but if you had a cheap on like an epiphone SG, why not make it look original and stuff? its not like the stock paintjobs are very good anyway...
in that case, I think the white primer we see at the begining compltly seal the wood
i wonder why the paint was sticking to the stir stick the way it was. maybe the water was too cold?
There are too many cruel, rude comments on here. The result is not that bad, especially for a backyard job. Personally, I'd have used fewer colours, and complementary ones. Perhaps red, blue, yellow and purple - not black!
The paint isn't drying. It just doesn't like water. It's a bad reaction. Those enamels take a long time to dry.
That's actually pretty sick looking man!
did you add anything to the water before you put the paint in?
O.k....ima start with my plastic fone case..,maybe a few bic lighters...oh and def a glass bottles (tape the labels to keep original look)..prolly a brim of a ballcap as well.all readily available! Thanks for the input
you know guys he is not destroying the SG all he is doing is painting it, making it his own. Its his guitar get over it :P
@vevosucks28 I used Testor Enamel paints. There model car / plane enamels. Stay away from Folkart and Americana enamels. ( There too thick and wont disperse ) If you can, order humbrol enamels offline.
this looks badass. great job. I gotta try this
Dude that is bad ass!
@tibothenr Its a multipurpose cleaner, they sell it in boxs at target near the laundry detergents
@Dimitribujiashvili Its completely sealed off with primer. No water touches any wood.
So awesome. I might do this if I ever make a custom strat.
Super bien maestro exelentemente bien e aprendido mucha teoria me falta practicar gracias maestro pepe
it looks fabulous
Did you put it all back together again? If you did can we get a video :D
looks like a 60year hippy guitar..., do u have a pic when she´s already?
they seem to like it. I do too. I don't think it's a problem.
It looks cool, but one tip, get a bigger tub, and move the guitar back and forth slowly to get the most effect possible! You did the best you could with such a small tub so kudos
This has got to be the wildest shit I have ever seen....What was the barrel full of?
Super sweet! I got an Epiphone SG Special too and I sometimes wish mine was green only instead of red. XD
err worst colours you could have chosen, what look were you going for? The "I just threw up on my guitar look?"
What kind of cars do you water and coating ordinary or special
Fantastic job!
It looks like it's a Christmas theme guitar. It came out better than what I did(a watery mess)good job will try this
I've only done marbling on paper and fabric. I think your guitar came out great!!!!!
Can you use other types of paint, or only enamels?
That is pretty cool. Thanks for the video.
