    Painting Eyes

    I ended up using a hole puncher and some clear binder seperators so I could see through it. The hole from the hole punch matches up perfdctly with the wiggle warts from pbb.

    Thats definately outside the box, I will need to use that on certain baits. A problem with that though is i just ordered afew wiggle warts and thehave 3d eyes, so i dont think a nailwould do it.

    Painting Eyes

    I just recently started painting lures and my first couple are in the gallery, pretty proud of them, but I cant quite get the eyes right. Im just wondering what everyone else does for this. My question is...how would i go about getting a perfect circle (using an airbrush.) Do you have stencils for every single one of the different baits you paint? Or is there a paint dotter that you would use or is it possible that people actually practice enough to make Perfect circles.

    These are the best of my first 5 lures ever. They're not finished, iI still need to add eyes and stripes. I took a few old baits and sanded them and repainted them.
  8. Good info. I see alot about createx and wicked.
  9. Spoonpluggergino, would you reduce airbrush ready paint too? Polytranspar to be exact. And if so would you do it due to spraying easier or to get morepaint per bottle?
  10. And the reason I chose gravity fed is from what i read, a bottome feed requires more psi to push the paint opposed to the gravity feed which just feeds into the airbrush. Also I just bought a 1 gallon compressor from walmart for $50 which should work fine.
  11. I am also about to start airbrushing. I have been looking around mainly youtube and this website but from some research what i have found best ( not from experiance) is dual action, external mix, gravity fed, and .35 tip size due to being able to do fine lines. Im on a big time budget due to a baby on the way but i went ahead and bought the Iwata eclipse ( gravity fed) from hobby lobby using the 40% off coupon for a decent price i think. I think i paid about $130 for it. Hope this helped alittle bit, its my first post.
