BisigBass91 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I am a novice lure painter, (mostly using airbrush) and i have used some of the chrome paint colors, but nothing that actually reflects light anything similar to a chrome lure one would buy at the store. I would really like to get a chrome lipless crank for the beginning of the season. Any advice/experience would be appreciated. Quote

Baitmaker Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 X 2. There are some high dollar auto paints and techniques that may be close, but no paint that I've ever seen will match actual chrome. Foil is the next best thing. It requires at least two coats of epoxy for a perfect finish, but not necessary. One or more coats over the foiled bait let to dry prior to painting, and another to seal the paint. Doing it that way hides any edge lines and leaves a nice smooth transition. Quote
Garcia Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Aluminum duct tape @ home depot, It sticks to your lure body. Then just add clear coat. Quote
Jaw1 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Spazstix lacquer paint will get you a good chrome imitation but it's very temperamental to work with so I gave up and just started foiling my baits Quote
