That swirl came out great!  I've never been able to do one successfully.

Thanks man! It's actually pretty easy, really. Maybe u just need the right materials?

Cheers mate! I'm using magic Marble paint. No need for borax. just a bucket with water and the paints. I add no more than 20 drops of the main colour and 5 of the secondary ones.
Let me know if u need any help.

Thanks for info, I use those colour too. But it seems that I've been mixing to much paint, so it gets dry very quickly.
Do you use cold or hot water? and does i matter?

Sweet, I still haven't tried to do swirl finish, this is pretty nice

Do you start with an unfinished box, sprayed white, etc?

Fwiw I had to mount my cupcake upside down too, better use of space and I was still using tall caps at the time

Hmmm! Yes it matters a lot! I've noticed that some colours dry faster than others! I use cold tap water , normally around 20 deg Celsius! Too hot and you will have a quick skin formation! With this colours u need to work very fast! Usually i do all the process within 1-2 min! Also don't forget to use not to much paint! U need enough to cover the surface of the water. The secondary colours just 3-5 drops! Quick swirl and dip it!!
Good luck and let me know your progress!
Cheers

Yeahh! I have only tall caps so allways a pain!
Regarding the finish: i wetsend the box with a 600 grid, than 1200! Than clean with some spirit! Then, automotive white primer for aluminum! 3 or 4 coats! Than backed on a toast oven for 20 min, 50 deg C! Than swirled!

Mann, there are a lot of tutorials out there. i pick up different experiences from different people.
A very good one, is from "haveyouseenhim". He is using borax and enamel oil based paint. What im doing, is a ready to use Magic marble paint. That is the only diffrerence.
here is the link of his great youtube videos:
