 :)    Yes     Also called swirl painting .      The only limit is the size of your dip tank fixture .

How about Daron's hydro dipped Senator, rod and belly plate?  He said in another thread that they dip ATV's now.  Looks like it would be a lot of fun to play around with.

Wow, that's the cat's jazz. Thanks for sharing the video.

That looks pretty great! Does it come out smooth or require sanding?

Might give that a try for fun

This hydro-dipped Talica 50 was for sale recently locally:



Obviously professionally done though to get that pattern on there rather just a random swirl.

Professional Hydro dipping is done with a printed film. They have hundreds of patterns to choose from. It is finished with a automotive clear coat.  Joe

I tried it. None of mine looked as nice as the ones in the video, but I would definitely give it another chance. I also tried some with fluorescent spray paints and that didn't work out very well. Too watery.
