Thanks basscat! I talked to a friend today who restores classic cars, and I didn't know he had a paint mixing system. He said I could bring some bottles and I could go through and pick what I wanted. So looks like I will be switching over to urethane base and clear. Again, thanks for the info.

SMfisher, I fish Flanagan, Pound and South Holston. I have fished Claytor once when I fished with a club out of Abingdon, Va.

Hi all, I stumbled across this forum searching for info on painting crankbaits and really liked the forum so I signed up. I love bass fishing and I direct a very small local club. I fish in Southeastern Ky, Northeastern Tn, and Southwestern Va. I look forward to asking questions and maybe helping others with what little I know. Mike

Hi Guy's, I'm new to this forum and to custom cranks. I've been airbrushing crankbaits for a couple of months now. I have been using laquer paints and top coating with laquer clear. I have had great success with this process, but the only problem I have is the limited availability of paint colors. I have been looking into water base paints. I see most of you guys are using water base with DT2 top coat. My question is; if you knock a chip out of the top coat does water get into the base coat and wash it off. Thanks, Mike
