It sounds like you are turning your hobby into a job. I'm sure you already have a job, right? If friends like what you are doing and want a lure here and there, that's great. It is a good feeling to get a pic sent to your phone with the caption, " I caught this with the lure you made me! Thanks!!" But if you start doing repaints and custom work by request for other people and their buddies you are going to take all the fun out of it and start to shy away from lure making. My advice to you would be to make what YOU want to make. Don't turn it into a job. After all, this was supposed to be a fun hobby.

Here's my 2nd attempt.

You might also try spraying the back and shoulders with pearlized white before you spray your purple, and shoot light coats of the purple to get to the shade you want. The pearlized white should keep the chartreuse from turning the purple brown, or, at the least, limit it to just the transition line.

I sure would think it would be up to them and at there expense to fix it. Not yours...

Its so clean because I just got it back together after my friend painted it for me, so i havent had time to make a mess yet. I figured if i posted the pic now you would see it before i have the tornado hit and everything is thrown everywhere.

Hi Cadman and Others, I apologize for the lack of clarity in my first post. The mold in question is a Do-It mold, number 3453. I produces a football jig without a collar, but with a screw lock holder. It also takes a 60 degree flat eye hook. I want to eliminate the screw lock holder and replace it with a collar style plastics holder. Do-It offers other football jig molds that offer the collar and associated collar style plastics holder; however, they don't appear to take the 60 degree flat eye hook. Thanks
