That being said I got a bug to try it . Here is my result . As I said , not a fan but I will find something to do with it . If you're really unhappy with that result you could always cure that with two coats of paint,one coat of black and one coat of clear:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Nope, it would need to be stripped or at the very least sanded a bunch as it is not smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 This was my only try at hydro-dipping. It worked out OK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky 130 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The "dipping" you are talking about is spraying different colors on top of water, dipping a model through the paint, letting the paint dry, smoothing paint with a light touch and a polishing cloth, clear coating and finish with polishing. The "film" being discussed is like a wrap, way out of scale, needs heat to conform. Ray, you may not care for the dipping method, you nailed it pretty good, and on a Stude. You guys should try it, you can come up with some really wild paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell48098 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Actually used that technique waaaaay back then on coloring Easter eggs, as well as on models. PLA enamel was what we used back then. A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
