Hey all,
does anyone have some tips or simply a process map outlined already that they use for priming, painting, and finishing their hard swim baits. I’m primarily making mine out of cast urethane resin. I’m a complete beginner to all this so forgive the ignorant questions. I’ve been practicing with my airbrush but have significant concern on screwing up on my final bait I’ve spent so much time on.
So…here iam leaning on the experts.
1. do you always prime your paint jobs? If so, what primer do you use?
2. I assume you sand your primer coat very gentle before applying paint. I am using createx acrylic paint, are there any other really good airbrush paints someone can recommend?
3. do you heat treat every round you layer on your paint or simply before you clear coat it?
4. what type of waterproof sealer are you using? How many coats/layers?
id appreciate any suggestions or help that can be offered. Please feel free to offer quick comments or go as detailed as you’d like, I’ve got a ton to learn
