okay guys i picked up a couple glide bait blanks to try my hand at painting, i was curious what colours you guys would paint these. I'm kinda stuck between a couple ideas and need some ***.

 

i was thinking a bluegill pattern for the smaller glide which is about 5.5"

i really dont know what to do for the second blank, i was thinking bone with brown fins but im not sold on the idea what do you guys think it's roughly 7.25"

this was my idea about bone and brown maybe a little silver on the top half

I have the bottom blank done in lite trout like the R2S version. It's a random color but the fish here like it for some reason.

Lite trout or baby bass would be my picks.

I would go with a trout or an ayu. Where did you get that bottom blank? I have been trying to find one.

I'd do a transparent Gill pattern on the first blank , just Paint the outside of the blank , that way you can skip the inner body where the hinges are located , getting clear coating around the hinges can be a royal pain.

 

My 2 Cents.

Definitely would do a 3D wild shinier paint job on it. Perfect size and shape.  Can I ask where you got the blank and the cost?
