Painting my own crankbaits

I am looking to start painting my own crankbaits. I dont want to make the baits just do custom paint jobs on them..I have a couple prereqs if anyone could help me find what I am looking for.

1.) I want a crankbait approx 3" with rattles and figure 8 rings already in place so all I have to do is add o-rings and hooks and do the paint job. I have seen some premade bodies but cant tell if they already have rattles

2.) I see alot of people selling the scale pattern to paint it onto the bait..But I cant find the crawfish pattern or "firetiger" stripes..I would like to find these as well.

3.) Do most people paint the bill of the crankbait or mask it off that paint their own?

Thanks for any information about this. This is not an ad or anything. I am just looking to paint crankbaits for my own benefit and use
