Lure painting????

[bigbill]

I have a complete air brush setup i got for christmas and i want to learn how to repaint my old lures with new hot colors and graphics.  Who sells the best painting supplies or has the stencils for making the scales on the lures??  I need to learn how to do it too.

You can get scale mesh from jannsnetcraft.com.  They also sell vinyl stencil making material, but I haven't used that.  Another place that sells scale mesh is barlowstackle.com. 

I got some of my paint from chicagoairbrushsupply.com, and I also use some of the Wal-Mart craft paints.  The Wal-Mart paints are cheaper, but need thinning before you can spray them through an airbrush.   I'm using a .3 mm tip, and I find that paint sprays best if it's about the consistency of milk.
