I haven’t used Createx paint in 4 years.   Too thick.  I like thinner paints. If the FW paint says Pearlized it won’t shoot.  The regular ink will.  You should see an airbrush icon on the side of the jar

If you want to learn more about painting techniques, tips and tricks, I started a great Facebook group page called Brotherhood of Custom Crankbait Painting.  It's not to showcase your work but to show your work and tell us how you did it as well as get help from the more experienced painters

Very nice.  So you achieved the blue pattern using a sponge?  That's awesome.

Yes.. coarse artists sponge found at any art store.. I came up with that technique out of the blue one day and decided to give it a shot and I was stoked how well it worked!!

Believe it or not, just 5 colors...    Yellow, indian red, detail sepia, pearlized blue (sponge pattern), black for the gilll plate..  I do my best to keep things simple incase I get a large order...

Not real skin at all! Not even a template. I dipped a course artists sponge in black paint and carefully dabbed it on the body. I try to keep things simple!
