There is no paint where his hands were. So there should be finger markings.

They really need to make hydrodipping less wasteful. Could have dipped more stuff in that batch were it planned out just right.

Pattern is printed on a special material; laid face down on the water. Chemical sprayed to dissolve the backing, item immersed and it sticks

I always wondered if this was a one time thing or does the water reset itself?

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Asking the important questions.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

One time thing. They drop another sheet of paint on the water. This is just an easy way to get the paint to transfer onto an irregular surfa

Thanks!

Yeah but what about the parts covered by his fingers?

8 years ago | Likes 281 Dislikes 3

Something else is going there. You can see that area is taped off.

You can see the video break then when the hands change to a reptile print.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's a motorcycle fender. The part he's holding will be covered by the forks.

8 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 3

forks sit behind where he is gripping. Only the thumb area will be covered, the rest will not be.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He is going to hold the finished part in place

8 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

Looks to me that the item is taped to handles. Could be wrong though

Maybe those parts are covered by something else.

his fingers!

8 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 1

you can re-dip using small cut strips if the part is exposed. normally you would attach something temporarily to use if needed.

That is actually a really good point that I'd not considered ????

and, the back flow into the helm?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

actually doesn't do it as much as you would think, or at all if you can get the angle just right. you break up the film before you remove it

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That is a front fender for a sportbike with USD forks. Although you can put it on your head and look kind Galactus-y.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

That's why they shake the liquid, to break up the pattern, the rest of it goes away to the sides, never touching the center

When the prophecy says he'll die in the war, there is 0 risk of him drowning. Let go of the foot, lady.

8 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

You know this has always had me wondering... why not just dip with one foot and grab the other foot that's been fully dipped and dip again?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Or use a rope or something

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yep, just like the floating debris in titanic... now both Achilles and Jack are dead.... shame..

Because he wants to clear the water from color so he doesnt paint that shit again when he pulls it out
