Thanks Curt! -
Alright no more messing around. This is my final entry into the contest. Top picture was taken in indoor lighting, bottom natural light/outdoors. -
how nice of them -,-

Not sure if it was made public information, but they won't be available to us painters anymore, as megabass has put a patent in on that bait design. I am selfishly hoarding all the ones I have previously purchased for that reason ;P

Just a little something I worked up yesterday. One of my favorite patterns for my state waters has got to be Rainbow Trout.

if you're referring to the black scale detail its all done before painting. The rest is just color layers -
why thank you! I usually add this much glitter when I think the paint job is rather boring and it needs an extra kick -
fastback green is one of my favorite colors! -
beauty -
thank you! -
Brushed on! After i get an initial coat of epoxy on I put a bunch of glitter in the same cup with the same batch of clear coat then slathered it across the top of the bait!

Has anyone used this that has previously used BSI 20 minute cure? One of the things I like about my current epoxy is the durability and curing time, the working time however lends to some product waste if I don't get it used all in time. Right now I can ship my lures 48 hours after clear coating, I try and stick with the fastest turnover time mixed with a durable clear coat as I get really busy and can only turn about 10 lures at a time. I also can't stand a clear coat that chips down to the paint, which I don't get with BSI. Just wondering if the extra day it needs to cure is worth it in order to replace the BSI 20 minute cure, and if the overall results are that much different/better. Thanks!

One thing I do with most of my blue gill's is heavily coat the top side with purple glitter. I like sparkle...

Another version of a Blue Gill I played around with. Not my favorite version so far.

A new pattern I played with the other day. -
Depends on what your mid-range price is. To some $60 is mid-range. However if you have a budget of say $100-$150, go Iwata or Paasche, can't beat them.

Spazstix ultimate mirror chrome as suggested above. Chrome paint is not as simple as spray and you're good. It takes a lot of work to get it to look right and have the right effect. It can also be very expensive. So don't get frustrated if you decide to try your hand at chrome paint. It takes trial and error to get the right effect.

Beautiful! -

I've never heard of someone using abrasive materials to clean any parts of an airbrush, that is a new one, and can't imagine it's safe to use on a needle. Needles are sensitive little pieces of your airbrush, the tiniest defect will have your paint doing all sorts of things you don't want it to do. I use a method similar to RayburnGuy, paper towel soaked in airbrush cleaner and run it down my needle a few times between certain color changes and at the end of my painting sessions. Finish off with a paper towel soaked in water to get the excess airbrush cleaner off and viola. Clean as a whistle. As far as the caps, a q-tip soaked in air brush cleaner and run around the inside of the caps a few times is sufficient in cleaning those little guys out, same with the fluid bed.
