This year at Keeners we taught ourselves how to hydrodip using spray paint. This is how you do it:
Step 1: Buy your paint. You need to buy your color paint, as well as primer and gloss.
Step 2: Use painter's tape to cover any part of your item you do not want to be colored (such as logos)
Step 3: Spray a coat of primer into your item. It doesnt have to be a thick coat, but it needs to cover the entire item. This will allow the color paint to stick better to the item. Wait for this to completely dry.
Step 4: Pick your colors, and spray them onto a tub of water. The tub doesnt have to be big, but big enough to fit your item. A large Tupperware container works well. Spray each color into the middle of the water. Once you have sprayed your colors for a few seconds each, wait for them to fill the surface.
Step 5: Dip your item. You have about 30 seconds after you spray the colors to dip your item, any longer and the paint will harden. Once you have fully dipped your item, move it around underwater to move extra paint from the water's surface.
Step 6: Once your color paint has fully dried, spray it with 1 or 2 sheets of gloss. The gloss will dry in less than an hour, but you need to wait a full 24 hours after glossing to use your item to prevent cracks in the paint.
Step 7: Enjoy your newly hydro dipped item.
