The brown color took me about an hour to get right, and sorry but I have no idea the ratios. The turquoise for the gill and tip of tail are an apple barrel color thinned, sorry but I'm moving and my stuff's all packed up and I don't remember the name of the color

1. White basecoat.
2. Spray entire bait with ctex pearl satin gold
3. Template and scale brown for stripes, sprayed lightly
4. Fill in back with brown
5. Spray turquoise over gills and nose, and tip of tail
6. ctex flour. orange for belly
7. blue color and painting method of your choice for kill spot
8. light coat of ctex transp. lite green over entire bait.

Re: need Recipe for the Ghost shad/sexy shad
Sexy = pearl belly, gray scale shoulders, medium blue back, then chartreuse stripe just below the gray shoulders. Black shad spot. Very faint chartreuse shading on front of belly, very faint red (pink) shading on back of belly. Sparse small silver flake on the belly and sides. If you shoot chartreuse over blue scale, you get green, so that's why the gray scale shoulders.

Red Belly Grass Craw

I don't have a gun, so I use Krylon for now. These are the colors I use for the recipe;

Flat White base coat
Red belly (I typically use a medium shade of red)
Hosta Leaf green color for the sides and back
Medium Brown lightly sprayed over back (blend into sides)
Another light layer of Hosta Leaf over the brown (I alternately spray the green and brown until I get the right shade of green brown)
Flat Black very lightly sprayed on the back. This gives the bait a bit of darker speckling.

This is good color for the summer months and early fall if the fish are around grass and not eating baitfish. The sides and back blend into the grass well, but the belly flashes around on the retrieve and gets attention.I usually put a pair of red 3-D eyes on the back of the bait, near the tail. You can also add vertical lines to the body to imitate the craw body plates if you want a more exact replica of a craw.
