maximusgunn Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Try taking the clear topcoat and adding very little black to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrs5kprs Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Try the silver (Jann's) followed by a finish coat of the clear with black flake. The silver is sort of "spinnerbait" shiny before adding the clear coat. For some reason the clear/black flake changes it to a medium smoke pepper that matches well with most smoke grubs. Started doing this last spring for my Table Rock grub heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveviper Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 good thread! How about any other colors? I found one recently...Brass and protec metallic blue make a nice watermelon. I added green glitter to make my jig heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Melon / green pumpkin: Brown + Chartreuse Add small amounts of chartreuse to brown and shake / mix until the desired shade of melon appears. I like to mix the two colors in an empty small container from the pound stock containers. A clear coat with clear/black flake won't hurt this color any. Can also mix the clear / black flake into the melon mix. Won't give you quite the smae gloss finish, but you will get the flake in your color and can skip one step.
