Ooooo! Hydrographics would be cool!

Luke.
Yea,that's what its called. Hydrographics.
Water wrap worked tho,you all knew what I was talking about. Well....

Oddjob,water graphics is kinda like water slide decals and a full vinyl wrap combined. Kind of. Anyway it's a cool process I'm sure you've seen,but don't realize it.
 
You'se guyz are close, but I can't even imagine getting the wrap to go around the tubes...

....Spin art!?...Haha! Now I'm talking real 60's county fair stuff. Prob too far back for you young-uns....but, it is definitely psycho-delic!
Man now I've got an idea.
I wonder how many colors plastidip comes in.
 
I asked ya all back in post #3... Can you smell the Borax?
I'm thinkin' Black, Blue, Green and maybe just a bit of Red and Yellow.
(That spin art is a cool idea though) ;)

That's the whole deal with the hydrographics. It's a film suspended in water that can wrap around a complex shape. Like this.

I wondered about that too, actually considered it for my wheels... but Chad's post looks like it works!

Looking forward to whatever it is you are doing Carl!

Swirl Dip Paint! :wink1: Cause that would be psychedelic.
Yeah Kevin figured it out...
Google you up some
Borax swirl paint jobs...

Carl.

My youngest said, "You oughta practice on a guitar, Dad." I told him the bike was practice for a guitar...
 
Spin art would be killer on a guitar. My kid did some of those at art camp this summer.

Look forward to seeing what you do with it on a bike.

Edit: Saw you were talking about the swirl dip so I googled that. That swirl dip is awesome!

Looks like you'd need lots of paint?

We'll see, I haven't done it before, but the whole idea with the Borax is to get the paint floating better. I have some other pieces to dip too, some are obvious, like the fork, others will be a cool surprise.
