Check List for Painting

Featured Replies

Well I have a Paasche Airbrush I got from my Dad. I am possibly getting some Createx and Devcon(I think) Clearcoat. I am getting some unpainted crankbaits from predatorbassbaits.com.

So I have:

Airbrush

Createx Paint

Crankbaits

3D eyes

Jig Holder That I used for tying flys jigs etc...

Do I use just blue painters tape to mask off my colors or what?

Do I need anything else?

Need a hair dryer to set the paint.

I tried the painters tape and it pulled paint off.  I might try it again but first time I did it was poor results.  You will need it for the bills or regular masking tape.

make sure your paint is fully dry (heat set too, preferably) before you put the painters tape on your bait. also, stick the tape on your t-shirt or jeans a few times to make it less sticky before you put it on your bait too.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll try it.

This is good advice, I figured this out on accident. I dropped the tape on my shirt and noticed is had less tack. I would imagine you could use frisket as well, but I have never used it.' Hair dryer is very important. assorted mesh's for scale patterns. You can use manilla envelopes for makin lines or gills. I use engineer stencil (ill post pics) works well.
