Shawn M Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey guys, Like most folks, I have a real problem using white PP. A buddy of mine asked me to make him some solid white SBs, which I was putting off. I was painting some SB heads for myself tonight, I have been using pearl as a base coat for the colors I like. I think it goes on real easy, with great detail for the heads. Anyway...it got me thinking. I mixed a 70-30 mix of white and pearl PP and painted the heads for the SBs my friend wanted. They came out really nice and were much easier to paint than just using white PP. Just an idea to toss out there. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielad Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 hi mate do you use powder gun or dip them?ive had similar probs with white pp,it tends to go lumpy once applied cheers JAson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Aussielad, I dip them. I don't know why white PP is so difficult, but was pleased with adding some pearl PP to the mix. Plus the color was pretty cool looking. This is a bit off subject, but do you fish for barramundi? I fished them in Thailand last May and thought they were an awesome fish. I caught them on SBs, BBs, and a couple other baits I normally catch bass on. I'm planning another trip to Thailand this May and will try some other "bass" lures out on them. I caught a bunch of 4-7 lb fish, but am looking to break 10lb this time out (of course a 15 or better would be nice!!). A real nice fish to catch, explosive topwater strikes and a heck of a fighter.
