Testing a new painting technique
Testing a new painting technique:
A Jetta, no make that a Golf, painted with a marbleized effect using nail polish:
I started by making a small hole on the roof then plugged it with tape, turned it upside down and then filled it with water. I drizzled different colors of nail polish over the water then drained the water, letting the nail polish fall where it may.

A Jetta, a Golf and a Rabbi walk into a bar- stop me if you heard this one...
Looks awesome! Can it be done with acrylic paint other than polish?

Re: Testing a new painting technique
I'd imagine any paint that doesn't mix with water would work, but I have no guarantees.

Once, when I was a small child I watched my mother kill a spider. Years later I discovered it was not a spider but my uncle Harold.Mindwarp wrote:Have you spotted the screaming clown in the stripes?shodog wrote:I got to stop dropping acid as something about those stripes don't look right

Re: Testing a new painting technique
Finally, a use for all the extra nail polish I have lying around.
That looks really cool. I'd never have guessed that method in a million years. I think theose colors work well together too.
I have mostly varying shades of red, but only because it matches most of my shoes and handbags. I do have one shade of blue, but I swore I'd never wear it again. That night was a catastrophe! I show up at the ball and Sara Ferguson is wearing the same gown that I am! My date tried to console me, but I had to demand that we leave. That was supposed to be my night damnit!

Re: Testing a new painting technique
The front of that Golf reminds me of a Jimi Hendrix poster from way back. Cool.
