Painting Water Drops Effect - Spray Paint Effect Secret 

I loved this! I did mine with matte white as a base and matte black and chrome silver as the drops and it looks sick!! Thanks man! Love it!

what's wrong with everyone? It might not appeal to everyone, but if you're going to criticize try to be constructive about it. he's just trying to share some paint tricks he knows.

This is great. Ive seen this on a few lowriders and quite a bit from my uncles Rod & Custom magazines from the 50s-70s. I've seen a couple of your videos and this is the stuff of painting legends. Secrets and tips like this die with people, and you're actually sharing it. I wouldve never guessed to spray at a low angle like that. Thank you.

Lmao. Everyone complaining about people complaining. Cool paint effect man!

please just do a slow panning shot on the final reveal. that is the climax. different zooms and angles is ok. but a slow shot so we can see the detailed results. always good to take a still at the very end and leave it as a "final image" for several seconds as u close out the vid. -- I give u this advice bc I was frustrated that I didn't really get to see the final product with all the crazy editing at warp speed. GREAT tutorial however.. just trying to help u improve

I have somehow made it back to this video and watched all of it before seeing I had commented on it 6 years ago... my comment was : "was that song at the end and the artsy camera work necessary lol" however, 6 years older, I have to apologize and I am truly sorry because that ending was magnificent! bravo @Commandodesigns !!!

7:35 That's what he said

I love learning new creative skills ,so , I watch a LOT of tutorials. I feel compelled to commend you on your tutorial. It is everything that I wish more tutorials were. Concise, focused (both your attention to what you are doing and the camera function), clear, articulate and you held my attention without rambling on about your cat, dog, hair, what you had for breakfast. ........ Thank you! !

Really cool effect, but whats the quality like with water just chillin' under the paint?

I always put the object I'm spraying up on some kind of pedestals, like some spray can caps. That way dust from the table, or dried paint dust doesn't blow back up on the surface being painted. Also it allows to paint all the way down to the edge.

As a crafter/hobbyist, I think this is a cool effect that could be used in so many ways. Thanks for the informative videoa.

You can see in the light when he does the close up that the paint is all flat and fired but all water is gone just leaving it looking wet....truly awesome!

7:35 when your smashing and change positions.

I think it's really cool. Also, one of a kind.

Thanks for sharing this tip.Good for any beginner painter that wants to be original in his or her own way.I think it could lead someone to a new style all their own.And that color turned out pretty cool.

I nailed it the first time out! I then made some modifications on the second one with some toothpicks. So cool. Made some jewelry with it.

Man that's a sick color, good job

Unfortunately, our planet is doomed because there are obviously very few parents teaching their children manners these days. I'm absolutely disgusted with the amount of negative comments this video got. This man was only trying to give useful tips to people interested in this art. If you don't like it, watch another video. Do any of you remember the phrase, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Everyone these days thinks it's okay to tear other people down "just because", but the second someone tears you down, you get offended. It's very disturbing. Sir, I don't know you and I am not an artist, but I appreciate your willingness to be helpful and teach others what you know. On behalf of all decent people, I apologize for those that know no better. Have a great weekend! And for anyone who is going to sink any lower than you already did when making your initial rude comment; grow up and have some class.

At first I wasn't feeling it. Then once the clear coat was added I was in love with it. That came out fantastically.

comments on this video say a lot about society everyones a bloody critic

everyone being typical youtube critic, but hey I thought it looked pretty darn good after clear coat considering it's just spray cans. thanks for sharing.

At first i thought it looked pretty rough and disgusting, then i noticed the light was reflecting off a smooth surface, and it looked amazing! Thanks!

I'm quite the fan of this technique, kinda reminds me of a Toads back.

I usually dont comment on anything, but all the negative idiots and their rude comments sort of hit a nerve. Im sure I'll be insulted as well after this. First of all, great tutorial and info. People forget that videos like these arent directed at those who already know how to any of this stuff. So if youre already a paint expert and the best out there, dont watch this. Go make your own video and teach others instead of insulting this guy for an "ancient" technique or the way he talks. Theres always something to learn from other peoples methods.

really cool paintjob mate.. and thanks for blowing out my speakers at 8:25.. >__>

What a brilliant effect that leaves, and so simple!

I'm excited to give this a shot with some different color schemes. I imagine you could even pool the water into larger and smaller shapes to displace paint in other patterns. Have you ever tried using mineral spirits with the spray enamel for similar effects?

what happens to the water?

Very nice work! :) I do wish that you didn't swoosh the camera around so much, that we can't properly see the effects. Would love to see some macro action on these kinds of case mods! Thanks for sharing! #inspired

is amazing and really easy to do, any professional or special tool is required!! i will try to spray my quad in water drop effect!!

I really enjoyed this video. Started new projects and I think this effect is a winner on at least one of them. Thank you!

How to fuck up your xbox tutorial

I think it just looks like a bad paint job

so I tryed this out with different paints. it does work but you can't use the fan tips from krylon, rustoleum has a more rounded pattern and works quite well for the color being painted over the water. but did get some cool effects from painting striaght down onto the water. and after the water evaporates its kinda smooth but enough clear coats will hide that leaving a smooth finish.

We own a familly food /snak/restaurant and when we redid the paintjob years ago, the guy who did it used that technic for the whole interior of the shop, with blue, white and gold. The effect looks like a rainy summer afternoon its really cool.

That's not a good looking paint job at all

Said stay low..immediately stands up.

This guy seems like a cool guy to hang out with, the instructions are very well explained too.

is awesome! I do this to my Xbox too from watch you on this video. I make my PlayStation midnight blue with ghost flames and the look is rad and many friends say they love my skill to paint. I am excited to make this on my Xbox now! Thank you for share with us how to do this on Xbox!

It doesn't matter if it looks super cool or ugly . He just trying to make the water drop effect.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU "SCOTCH GUARDED IT " ? AND AT THE END YA COULD'A ZOOMED OUT ALITTLE SO WE COULD SEE OVERALL EFFECT.

i love that line "you never really know what your going to get mixing spray paint" lol

don't even look like water drops, more like a orange peel texture that you would do on a wall or a ceiling

Why does this remind me of a Church rap video that tries to be cool ?

Thanks for the technique...Who knew !!!

Thank you. I really appreciated this lesson.

This is the most console thing ever.. Merging Xbox with Mountain Dew...

PcMasterRAce?

Cool technique, thanks for sharing.

Thank You for this video!!! this is exactly what I'm trying to learn and you've made it so much easier. Negative people SUCK!

who else had this look at the end presentation ? >> O.o

Heh, he went on about how important the angle is, then sprayed all three pieces in different directions. The face panel is sprayed from the bottom up, the right panel is sprayed from top to bottom, and the left panel is sprayed from front to back :P I'm guessing they repainted it or used another for the final shot.

mine looks great however I think the water droplets after they evaporated left the paint a little too raised up and seems like they want to flake away I hope next week when I put the clear coat it will hold them down adequately

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Two quick questions, 1. I may have missed it, but the dark color (the third paint), was is just regular black spray paint, opposed to say Rustoleum's 2x or a textured spray? 2. When painting components that tend to heat up, would using a high heat spray be a better choice for longevity, or does it matter? Again, thanks for posting, can't wait to try!

he colored it so his waranty doesnt work next day he gets red ring :D

"stay real low guys" -stands up

you sir taught me something today!! must use, must do. thank you and have a groovy day

Very impressed! I'm going to do my rifle stock this way!

I don't think that green was the best color for this...

How to make anything look like you didnt know what you were doing 101

Wow that looks amazing. Once that clear coat is applied it just looks awesome.

If you let the paint dry between the darker "shadow" spray and the lighter "highlight" spray won't the water dry too.

I wish you had stopped zooming and moving the camera at the end so i could have a better look at the effect!

Console equivalent of water cooling.

I wish you'd included some close up stills, that looks pretty amazing. I'd love to see it up reeeeeeeal close :)

This is smooth right? Because I want to do this on the bottom of the surfboard and did you do any sanding, it looks really cool

Looks like every teens acne I have ever seen at McDonald's .that asked me if I wanted fries with that.

So... you gave your Xbox some acne?!

I build model cars & works great! Thanks for the video! I did find that if you tilt up the item being painted right after you spray he final top coat (every things wet) you get a wild dripping effect! (i'm doing 1/24 model cars - Full scale would be hard to tilt =0) but ??)

Used to do this on vinyl all the time. If you want really big water droplets put some water in your mouth and spit it out onto the project making a "puh" sound and you'll get some really big drops in there too.

Dude you talk way to much. I kept fast forwarding to get to the parts where you were actually working. I also agree with the guy who said it reminded him of a church pastor making a video and trying to be cool. That paint technique is out of style... very early 90's. Some shit should just remain dead. I bet you wear Drakar Noir to.

This would be a 4 minute video if you didn't rabbit so much.

Love this paint effect! 💚

Very cool, I'm modding an original xbox and I plan on painting it thanks for the video!!

looks more like a sticker full of air bubbles lol

"Just dust it" he says as he paints the whole thing black

Incredible paint effect. I love it

I plan on using this awesome technique on a kit guitar I am building. Can someone tell me if I should stain and then do my poly coats before I do this or can I do it right on the stain. I worry about the wood absorbing the water.

honestly it looks like a pickle

So much speak... ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

2 questions, what color was the first coat you put on the water drops? And when you put the yellow or the water drop still there? Or had they dried up? I hate all of the negative comments you got here I really enjoyed your video

Harder to see on camera I bet but with some practice I bet this affect could look amazing, love the tips!

That looks pretty damn stupid

That looks terrible

That was suuuper amazing.

dude. that looks so awesome. I'm gonna try it on my bike.

Looks bad to me

that voice xD

Thank you for this. I love your energy.

I wish I could post a pic of the piece I just painted. It turned out great! I wondered how it would look after the water evaporated, but the more it dried, the better it looked. Thank you for this! 👽✌️

I get the point about this technique of achieving water droplette affect using spray can paint. I appreciate his efforts. He mention he does not want the water to dry so what happened to the water after it was sprayed dust over? It looked lit the paint dried in shape, in science the water droplette were mold for paint? Water droplette are usually clear.

it looks like a failed paint job

looks super, super, crap !!!

Awsome ! Thank you for sharing this.

I run out of gas after only few uses or/and when I just started to use it with some of my spray cans. What I am doing wrong ? Have you got any advices on the situation. THx

so does it have a 3d feel to it or is the surface smooth with a 3d look. basically, did yhe paint dry over the water and you can pop the water paint bubbles. hard to explain. is the surface smooth or rough.

Just wondering, once the painting process has been done, will the painted panel be flat to the touch or will it keep the bubbles of the water shape? How durable is this finish if a bubble was to be rubbed against will it damage the effect. Just concidering this effect for a outdoor sign. Thanks 👍 BTW great tutorial!

hmm, you learn something new and cool everyday. Thanks for this. :)

Actually enjoyed this, been playing around with some paint and this gives me ideas to play around with, at least. Could have had a better finished product shot though lol.

I did it and after they dried I sprayed them with clear....turned out good Ron
