Real shad colors

base coat white
pearl white belly and sides
the a light coat of metalic blue sapphire(folk art paint) thinned 50/50 future floor wax add tw drops of gliserin down back and shoulders of bait
createx fluorescent raspberry over the top of the blue fading so as to leaving a touch of blue showing on the lower edge
steel gray folk art paint thinned as above sprayed thru fine netting over the back and sides fading into the raspberry leaving a slight line of raspberry showing below the gray(when done right the colors will fade from blue to gray as you look at the bait giving it a shiner/shad fadeing)
put some gold paint lightly on gill plate and strip along lat line of bait just so it shows up (not to thick a little gos a long way in the finished bait)
spray black very very light around eyes so when you add the eyes thay pop...
add the spot of black behind the gill plate and above the lat line of the bait
finish with a light coat of pearl white over the whole bait to give it some shimmer  real shad1.jpg   51.12K   173 downloads

also for a darker back on the above bait just use a light coat of black on the back of the bait instead of the gray for a hot steel looking back and then spray the pearl white over the bait it will really shine
