gadawgs Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I need some help painting this color mainly what colors do I need to mix to get the rootbeer color or something similar. I'm using acrylic paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Unfortunately I am only familiar with lacquer based baits but I have to believe the layering is essentially the same. White Base Chartreuse Base Medium Green over the Back A brown or rootbeer over the Medium Green Orange Chin or Belly Green glitter (not too heavy) on body. Michaels Craftgoods has a green glitter spray but I do not know what it might do to acrylics. Test it first. I like the spray because I can get an even coat of the glitter throughout.

BJ Smith Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I use acrylics and follow Birdman's basic recipe...... White base Chartreuse Base Olive drab or Nato green on shoulders and back Splatter with a medium to dark brown on shoulders and back. Light orange belly Red eyes......... I use a very fine green polyflake that suspends in epoxy... I mix it with the epoxy before applying............. Good luck............
