thanks guys. the new airbrush has helped dramatically no flames aren't next. im trying to get a realistic looking bluegill, im almost there. the clear coat is envirotex lite. its a resin and with 2 coats even the mudfish will have a hard time getting to the paint.

Very nice!! I may get you to paint a few for me one day. How much for say 5 crank baits?

looks good but be careful with the knockoffs i have known of people buying 100 at a time and 90 % wouldnt run correctly just a heads up make sure they run true before u paint a pile

i took them out the other day, the only down side to these is the bill isnt 100% smooth but they run fine, ill be throwing them in the river this saturday so i hope to have a better report on them. i threw them in a cleaar lake and they looked like a store bought one so im happy. but i know the blanks are just throw together thats also a reason why i wont paint blanks for anyone, just repaints for now.
