Putting down wet finish with color pigment added is how it all starts. You should play with other base coat pigments besides white.

personally I think a whole rod marbled will look atrocious but matters of taste cannot be disputed.

f you search for Rod Marbling , you will see lots of examples with different base coat colors and different marbling colors added. i like the typical swirls , etc but I also like a bold pattern like a smudge with a contrast color in it or a metallic ring like area with colors inside. Anyway , you need to expand your world beyond just a white base coat!
