  1. Thanks for the information. Will be placing an order for the iridescent paints. Besides the McKenzie wildlife paint mentioned above has anyone used Badger wood & water Iridescent Color Set as I can order that for $20 for a six color set of 2 oz bottles. The only thing around me that I can find without ordering on line is the Pearl ex, which I ran to hobby Lobby and got and small jar of the duo blue-green. As I said in original post that I dip my baits in KBS Diamond finish. I really do not want to add it to my jar, so what can I add it to to spray it using the airbrush? I am thinking of using the transparent base, a bit of reducer and then the pearl ex. Is there another clear water base medium I can use? Thanks in advance.
  2. Thanks for the info. I think both give neat effects. So will try both methods to see which gives me the results I am looking for. Thanks for your responses.
  3. Ok, I look at custom painted baits websites to get different ideas of paint schemes. I visited https://www.joescustombaits.com/product/ad_listings/show_category/3 and looked at blue rock craw and blue texas craw. In the description it states "The entire bait is dusted with a iridescent blue to give the bait a blue sheen over the brown, a really great looking craw pattern." and the top and upper sides dusted with a shimmering blue. " So I think the bait has a hint of blue over the bait. I guess what I imagine is when I look at the bait at right angle I see the base color, but if I look at it from an angle I will see a hint of the colors over the base color. My question is how is that done? I tried to take a color, say blue and then took transparent base and made the paint really light. Tried it but it just muddied up the paint scheme. Also thought about doing my paint scheme, then dipping bait (KBS Diamondfinish) letting dry then spraying the color. Also will iridescent paint be the key. as I do not have any nor have I ever painted with it. I guess the other way of describing what I want, is take a colored plastic film and look at your bait through it. You see the bait but it has the hue of the plastic colored sheet. It probably does not make sense what I am trying to do, but if anyone has a suggestion, thanks in advance. I did email the web site asking how, but never received a response.
