Nice job, on mine, the paint I had didnt work, so I got an airbrush, but have been too busy too paint them.

ILfishinman · 08-04-06, 06:16 PM

those are both handpainted, i use testors enamel model paint i got at meijers and then devcon 2-ton for topcoat. i dont think imma get a airbrush for a while...

crankybait · 08-04-06, 06:24 PM

you could just get one at michaels... 20 bucks, 10 from a coupon from the sunday newspaper. nice lures though

ILfishinman · 08-04-06, 06:26 PM

thanks, i dont get the news paper so i will have to pick one up sunday, is it just a one action or is it a 2 action airbrush?

crankybait · 08-04-06, 07:42 PM

well, the single action is regularly 20 bucks. it worked perfectly fine for me... thing is the nozzle clogged as i was too lazy to clean it so i figured id just get a professional model. but the double action badger starter is originally 40-50. with the coupon you save either 40 or 50 percent

ILfishinman · 08-04-06, 07:46 PM

sweet, ill have to check that out

bassking22 · 08-04-06, 10:47 PM

My dad bought me a nice one that runs off a compressor. I was stupid enough to use testors enamel.

whittler · 08-04-06, 11:20 PM

Well crap, now I'll have to repaint since Testors was used to paint this lure. Sure glad you warned me before I use it again.

bassking22 · 08-05-06, 09:44 AM

My bad not enamel, but it was Testors acrylic. Sorry I had a thinko.

ILfishinman · 08-05-06, 10:57 AM

whats wrong with it? just not for airbrushes?

dampeoples · 08-05-06, 02:11 PM

Some of that Testors acrylic is pre-thinned for airbrushes, it had lumps in it, at least the jars I had did

Nice job, Il, nice indeed!

Just a thought, but you might catch more fish with it if you add some hooks , maybe two trebles?

You do good work.

Whit,

That thing is gorgeous! But I gotta tell ya'; they work so much better with hooks!

That paint job is so good as I've ever seen. A regular Rembrandt, you is!

Congrats!

ILfishinman · 08-05-06, 03:41 PM

thank you flyrod, i still need to order hooks and split rings and screw eyes. so they will be catchin fish in no time!

bassking22 · 08-05-06, 06:58 PM

Yeah, go to cabelas, and get lure screw eyes, they are better than the ones you can make, and better than the ones you get a lowes!

ILfishinman · 08-05-06, 10:10 PM

aint no cabelas here, ordering them from stamina

flfireman · 08-05-06, 10:21 PM

Nice work. Ignore FR, maybe you don't want to hurt any of the fish.

ToPwAt'R GuY · 08-05-06, 10:55 PM

Nice job. I wish I had time to make my own lures.
