Please Help With Crappie Pattern

Recommended Posts

Good question, are you speaking of the splatter back pattern. I as well would like to learn that trick. I tried it with the air brush with no luck. The only other thing I could think to try was a stiff bristle brush full of paint. Might work.

No im thinking of the realistic pattern. I want to know how to make the black and green on top blend. what kind of gun do you have single action or dual? turning the air down to 9-10 psi and knocking the trigger down while pulling paint works well for my iwata.

Help me get started on a white crappie. Colors, and dots. Thanks!!!!

this what you have in mind?

base coat dark gray, scales white, then i lightly overbrush with metallic pearl white to make the scales look silvery and tone down the total effect. then do the random speckles with the tip of a small stiff brush or toothpick. next spray the back black and mist it slightly down the side a little. then spray the belly white and mist it up. to get the green i use metallic emerald green. very lightly just to give a hint of a green sheen. use a soft brush and go easy you can always add more.

That sounds good. Nice baits! You are airbrushing right? My main concern is how to get the crappie speckels with an airbrush. I may try the toothpick trick.

no airbrush, $2.99 brushes from Michaels. figured it was easier to change brushes then to mess with changing and cleaning tips.
