I have seen his work and only 3-4 of all the ones on his website I approve of. So thats talent or he just got lucky. And I say its ladder of the two.

So since everyone says hes a so called swirl expert? I feel that anyone can swirl. Its a matter of the paint and technique. So thats why you all dont want to talk about paint. Its not rocket science!

Dude... I told you how I did mine. And you tried to tell me otherwise as if I'd lie about it. There's no great secret and there no great uber magical paint that every swirler is using. There's plenty of threads on this site about swirling and paints & methods used. Also there is google...

Yer same problem here. Good swirls with average colours. I can't seem to find any suppliers for humbrol or anything like that in Aus which is annoying cause most US online suppliers won't ship paints here.
