Paint Question

Featured Replies

Is there a certain type of paint that you would not use on a lure.  I was looking at Createx, but then found a whole mess of pther mfgs (House of Color, Kustom color, laquer, enamel, etc, etc)  Should you stick with one type or can you spray different types on a single bait?

Thanks

Depends on your budget and how skilled you are I suppose. I just use spray paint cans, I have gotten pretty good with them  and some paint brushes.  It is cheap, but you need to cure the paint well so it is durable with a good clear coat.  Just go with what is in your budget. Paint is paint sooner or later it is going to fade, chip or need re-painting.

I use auto air air brushing paint.  I think it is made by createx.  It's worth the cash.  If you ask me, no one makes a better paint...  It's thin, comes in all sorts of color combos, and makes life so much easier, even on clean up!  ;)

you should not spray different types (lacquer, enamel, acrylic, etc.) of paints on the same bait. they may not be compatible, and you may end up with a mess. if you want to spray one bait in lacquer and another in acrylic thats fine, but stick with one type of paint per bait.

Don't mix paints or you will have a mess.   Once you have a system of paint and clear coat then you baits will be consistant.
