My First Few Cranks

Featured Replies

Just started painting cranks and i think im starting to get the hang of this. These were all done on regular spray cans lol so i think they are nice for spray cans and not airbrushed.

here was the first one i ever did.

after a few more researching on the colors and when to paint each layer i got this.

Those look good. I especially like the ones in the last pic.

Good looking paint on all your baits, be careful you are entering the no return zone.

Those are relly great looking lures. I just started painting baits. Where do you get the bodies? I've been carving my own but would like to buy some like that.

Nice work! Big M is right. I was foolish to think that the bait monkey didn't have relatives. :lol:

its rock solid, shiny and smooth(well kinda still need some practicing). Have anyone used this method yet? i personally like this method as its clean, already has a reusable brush and cures in just a few hours.

That is how alot of painters clearcoat their baits
