2TBone Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Anyone I need some help with a color on the belly of a Smithwick jerk bait. I have attached a photo. I cant seem to get a good match on this color. Is there any tools out there that might help with finding or helping with color matching, or has anyone painted this color before. I shoot with lacquer material. Any help is appreciated. PS. My friend said this pattern has been discontinued Tbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend said this pattern has been discontinued Tbone TBone, I don't see a photo attached, (maybe I don't know how to find it LOL) but as a pro photographer, I can tell you that trying to pinpoint an exact shade by posting a photo on the web is next to impossible. All cameras record colors differently and computers will display them differently. Unless you're willing to settle for "close enough" or you get extremely lucky, color matches are best done in person or through your own computer that you've calibrated yourself.

Sorry PeterJay I thought I saved as an attachment. I know you got be smarter that the equipment your working with. I will need to go back to school. Your point is understood, I was wanting to see if there was a tool or something that would help with tinting colors? PS. I added the photo this time I think it worked. Thanks Tbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to be smarter than my equipment, I'd be catching fish with my teeth and filleting them with oyster shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I use Craft Smart paint from Michaels Craft stores... Take you bait in the store and match it to your needs. Looks like Spanish Olive 23643 to me... I use it for baby bass. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=cp0229 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
