If it goes wrong, how do you get it off?

[MADEINMAIDEN]

@whitbyjet65 XYLENE!

[tkman12]

well what paint did you use?!

[tonygayter]

@tkman12 This one was a test using enamel spray paint, sprayed into the lids and poured onto teh water (dont forget to tape up the air hole in teh lids though!)

[MrDayd3]

Awesome! That one came out really sweet!

[troylover121]

I don't understand the point of this. It's not like you can do this with a really guitar. Can someone tell me the point? not hate it's cool just don't understand

[tonygayter]

@troylover121 this is a real guitar, just like all the other ones in my videos. Why would I cut out a bit of wood the exact shape and size of a guitar to just paint it in a video?

[troylover121]

@tonygayter oh i didn't know it was real sorry. Where are the strings?

[aaaaasssss22]

@troylover121

are you retarded?

[troylover121]

@aaaaasssss22 No i'm not. sorry i didn't know it was a real guitar. This is the first i saw this kind of video. You don't need to call me that

[LesPaulsify]

@troylover121 It's just the body of the guitar with no electronics, neck, strings, ect...

[troylover121]

@LesPaulsify Ok thank you for telling me that

[aaaaasssss22]

@troylover121

its ok, i apoligize if you're into that kind of thing, the majority of the posts I leave on youtube are FUCK YEAH x, Fake and Gay, or various troll comments. Thanks for your time !

[bluepaisley83]

@troylover121 The point is mate that this is a truly genius way of customising your guitar. Every swirl is different! These are real guitars, I swirl myself and love it. Lots of fun to do but hard getting it right sometimes. And tonygayter I love the swirls, ive just done one and im working on the clear coat which is boring me as it takes toooooo long to dry lol Keep up the good work :)

[TheHaZMaTBand]

You should totally do a pink-blue cotton candy swirl next!

[tonygayter]

@TheHaZMaTBand check out the pics in the gallery

[ederinho420]

how long does it take for the paint to dry?

[XxANDY2047Xx]

Why does this remind me so much of That 70's Show?

[demonix0220]

if you didnt use humbrol, what did u use? becaus ei dont have any stores in my area selling humbrol :\

[a300mayer]

sorry man, didnt mean to rattle you. i was just getting angry that i couldnt get any descent results and didnt seem like anyone that knew anything wanted to help. my bad. gotta learn to relax. thanks for all that you have done on your own time. i appreciate it and im sure everyoneelse does.

[tonygayter]

@a300mayer Sorry you feel wronged but there is no 'hush hush' about this, I do help people out hence the whole website dedicated to it. Im also sorry I didnt push aside my full time job, my chronic heath problems and my other web projects which Im getting paid to do to stop just for you and answer a question. I go on the site every couple of weeks and see some awesome swirls from people and help others, maybe you need to just be a little more patient

[bluepaisley83]

@a300mayer Hey man, not in relation to this vid but I too noticed this really bizarre secrecy surrounding swirling. I had to research it for months, gathering info from videos and websites that give rough guides to it. I have a photographic diary on my Facebook page detailing what ive done so far. If you need any help I can give you as much advice as needs be. Currently just waiting on the Borax and paints to arrive then its swirling time :)

[charlieshreds]

what song?

[ravenshield56]

that is so sick! are you from the UK?

[boxtrap21]

Hey Tony,

I tried swirling my guitar, and the paint sunk to the bottom and when I sticked my guitar into it the paint wouldn't come within like 2 inches of it? (Like an invisible shield around the guitar from the paint)

I used Borax, correct temp, sanded and primed my guitar white.

I used Americana Gloss enamel.

What did I do wrong?

Please respond.

P.S. I tried registering on TheSwirling and it doesn't take me to the sign up page.

[tonygayter]

@boxtrap21 Try registering here. theswirling. com/register.aspx I dont know if that paint works, I know many people have not had much success ith other enamels such as testors etc..

[1995lumby]

how would i getthis effect on my walls in black and red?

[micksonful]

how many borax do u use in that container? I have 1 like that....

[ultrapwner]

Hey lovin the swirls, but when I try to register on the site it just brings me back to the home page.

[iamJOELlee]

I found the link, I feel stupid hahhaha

[iamJOELlee]

hey tony, for some reason i cannot register at the website. Ive been following but never been able to post because I dont have an account =[. I did humbrols a few days ago and it turned out disastrous lol. Im heading down the auto shop tomorrow to get some hok, hopefully it turns out better.

[RustyR]

This is so awesome.

How much are the cost of materials?

[tonygayter]

@RustyR Come onto th ewebsite, all teh info is on there for free :)

[scooterswirl]

Hey T-bone nice swirl. The colour saturation is really good. So do you think im heading down the right track with my idea? Ive let Chris in on my idea. Im doing a vid tomorrow so I will post it soon.

[w1dvf]

That looks awesome....gotta try it......Darrell

[senorchristoph]

Chris / Lumosenvy

[tonygayter]

@senorchristoph Hey chris, we are experimenting with some differant paints, scooter found it out and he has asked me to keep quite until he gets it right. If you give him a PM Im sure he will share with you though :) However Im still going down teh carageenan route which mixed with this new knowledge will produce excellant results. Just need som efree time now :S
