The standard base coat colors for hydro dipping are white and sometimes tan for a camo design. But your base coat can drastically change the final look of a dip. Most films are designed to be applied over a white base coat and that is one reason why you rarely see white printed on a film.
What material is best for Hydro dipping?
Hydrographic designs require no special printing equipment, and you can use any material that can withstand being submerged in water, such as ceramics, plastics, metal, and fiberglass. You can also hydro dip wood, but you should exercise caution because the process may warp the wood if you do not use a sealer primer.
