I bought some of the Folk Art stuff because it was cheap and available. I have used it on a few applications. Color shifting may be an exaggeration. But it does fade at certain angles. I found it useful as a highlight color on fish like smelt or American Shad. It worked at pressures below 20 PSI when reduced. But I will probably be buying a higher quality paint in the near future .
Thank you

If you are going to build an exhaust system for volatile fumes, be sure to get and explosion proof exhaust fan. Those are the specific words to look for: explosion proof.
I'm just going to stick to the basic brush and dip lol

2X what 21xdc said. I sprayed clear coat and never will again, dipping is better and safer. Make sure if you chose too, get a sealed motor and a good respirator. Just cleaning the gun is bad enough.

Looks like I'll just stick to brush and dip

Be VERY CAREFUL if you spray any flammable products. The atomized product becomes a mass of fumes that can EXPLODE when going through an exhaust fan. Plus the brush or gun will most likely be short lived if you don't clean 100% each time... I think you get a better job/coverage when dipped or brushed.
Thank you, great advice.

The first time I used Future floor shine to thin paint, I cleaned the front of the brush well but left some paint in the Teflon needle packing that prevents paint from migrating into the back of the brush. A week later it took a good hard pull with pliers to get the needle unstuck. If I remember, Future directions say that it requires a special cleaning agent containing acetic acid to remove it from a floor. So it may be water soluble but when dry, that is apparently not the case. It does act as a good flow enhancer and it can be a good clear barrier coating between paint and MCU topcoats if you have had paint wrinkling problems. But like most things there ain’t no Free Lunch. You also don’t want to thin a whole bottle of paint with it. It can cause the pigment to precipitate into a hard plug that is impossible to remix. That’s my experience with Future. You may use it and love the stuff, never had a problem. But I did.
Great feedback!!!! Thank you.

I know some use a brush to clear coat and some an airbrushing. What gun / clear do you recommend? Any tips? New to it never sprayed/airbrushed clear coat. Thank you all. (On big glide/multi joint baits)

I only coat blade baits 1 time.... Many topwater and cranks once. Some that may get beat up I would apply 2 coats.
Thank you!! Need this.

Marine applications are sprayed with thin coats needing more of them. Dipping or brushing one coat is probably equivalent to more than spray coats.
Gotta agree with you on this.

Color shifting is a very attractive quality in a bait. I feel it touches more "trigger points". It occurs naturally in baitfish. The more 3-D the finish on your bait, the more effective the color shift will be. Certain foils can also be applied to accomplish a color shift.
I think I am with Hughsey on this one. If you want color shifting qualities - go all out. The per bait cost is a few cents .
Totally agree with you.

Yes, It's true...…. But I'm certain the fish don't care how much I paid.
Haha very true!

I guess it's like the old saying you "get what you pay for."
Exactly!!!

True... Folk Art wont shift as much, But don't cost as much either.
I see what your saying. Looks good.

I just don't think the folk art color shift is a strong color shift like Spaz Stix paints and other color shift paints. Auto air makes a strong color shift, I think it's their 4400 series. The folk art won't do this.
Wow!!! This is some quality!

I also use the floor care and a little water ...works pretty well as long as you stay away from the "extreme glitter" and colors like that, the glitter is just too large...i work in the automotive field and have started using some PPG water based wax and grease remover as a spray through cleaner...it can be diluted way way down and I havnt had any problems with the floor care drying and sticking up the brush.
I really gotta try these techniques. Thank you!!!

I just bought all the colors offered for $1.49 per bottle at Jo Ann Fabrics. I thinned with Future Floor Finish and it spray as well if not better than createx through my brush's . Future is not a wax... It is an acrylic flow enhancer and water soluble.
I gotta try this.

Read on here years ago about this and it works well. I actually just use a little future. Keeps the paint from drying on the needle
This is some good content. Thank you

Not sure why you would need to add the floor wax.
I always thinned Createx with tap water only and never had a prob.
I tried the Createx reducer (which smells like Windex) and found no difference in spraying or cleanup.
Wow!!! Thank you didn't know this. This is going to save me time and money.

I have been spraying folk art craft paint for many years.... I'm still trying the $4 color shift.
Niiice! I gotta try those paints.

Hope you have a lot of reducer for acryilic paint. You will need it. Createx reducer works. Also use the coarsest needle / head set you have. It still won't spray right.
Thank you! Really appreciate it

I use the createx iridescent blue over black to make a cool color shifting purple. The key is LIGHT COATS until you get the desired effect.
Thank you for the technique

Let us know how it goes please. Maybe pics??
