I keep thinking about using camo colors with this method for a A2 stock, forearms and grip.
But...haven't done it yet. What do you think? Here's a guy doing a guitar with this method. http://www.wimp.com/swirlart/ |

I think I would spray Krylon flat camo paint into a jar and then pour them onto the water.
I might practice on a few things before I did the AR furniture. But, it's winter here so it will have to wait since I don't have a place to do it inside the house. I doubt the wife would like me using a bath tub. 
It would be "different" for sure. |

i plan on giving it a shot...after I can dig my way out of here I have no idea what he just said. One of us has had one too many 
Seriously, I am trying to think of what I can try this out on. Is there more info on this technique? I have an A2 stock I would like to try this out on. |

Seriously, I am trying to think of what I can try this out on. The "after I can dig my way out of here" is in reference to the snow that dumped on us. I dug all day. |

I am in. Doesn't seem like a good winter project, so I am going to wait for warm weather. Obviously, this requires an oil based paint. What are the likely candidates? I'm thinking....spray flat Krylon camo into a jar or can, then pour it in. Edited for missing letters, need a new keyboard. |

I'm thinking....spray flat Krlon camo into a jar or can, then pour it in. Just hold the cans up side down and push the button. Once all of the gas has been released, poke a small hole into the top and pour out the paint. Otherwise you will loose half of the paint and get paint dust everywhere. |

I do that when I need a little for use with a brush. I just cover the jar and paint can with a rag and spray.
I wouldn't waste a whole can for the cap full of paint for each color. At least it looks like he isn't using a whole lot of paint. I think I'll at least give it a try on a smaller scale soon, maybe this week if I get a chance. Something I can do in a 5 gallon bucket. I just want to see how it might look and find out if Krylon camo will work. I don't want to start on a stock set until I learn a few things about doing it and how to get the look I want. From watching the video it looks like the diameter of the water/paint container needs to be large enough to hold enough paint. Otherwise you would run out of paint before you had the whole object into the water and paint covered. A 5 gallon bucket might be deep enough for a stock but I wonder if it is wide enough to hold enough paint. |

I would think a 5gal bucket would be plenty to do the stock.
I really want to try this, but don't want to just do the stock/furniture. Any input on doing a stripped upper and lower, and maybe a barrel? I'm thinking you'd have to close off some of the openings, or you'd have it all in the inside too... Maybe use tape to close off what you can, and just clean off what you can of the rest? I think that would look pretty cool if done right.... |

Hey guys, Here is a site I've found about this.....Swirl Painting
I'll keep looking.... Tall Shadow

ok, I have a 13-15 gallon bucket w/ water.
I took red, yellow, and orange spray paint. You can spray right in to the water, but if you get too close the water will splash. It is Very easy to have to much paint in the water, when you dip it stick on but I think it will flack off. I dipped some pvc pipe, and a piece of wood. |
