Did a quick search but didn't find much on here. 

 

So airbrushing some soft plastics sounds fun over the winter. Any recommendations for paint that will stick to baits well enough that I don't have to seal them in clear plastisol?

I'll be watching this one. I know Spike-It has soft plastic paint in 11 colors, but i don't know if it could be thinned enough to spray.

I looked into Clearasol plastic and it looks more approachable than I initially thought. I have a wide variety of acrylic paint for my airbrushes already so I will probably give that a go. Spike It looks like it would work but seems like a hassle. If I am forced back to it then so be it. I don't think this is a very common thing to do so my research hasn't returned much.

*Spike It / JJ's and a few Q-Tip swabs ?

Looking for more control than a cotton swab would offer. My goal is to paint with the same quality that you get in the fancy painted crank baits.

Spike it does have spray on plastic dye, but I think their color selection is pretty limited. I've used the black spike-it rattle-can to tone down some brighter color baits.
