Super User buzzed bait Posted June 23, 2017 Super User Posted June 23, 2017 so i bought an airbrush and all sorts of paint a while back and hadn't done a thing with it until a couple weeks ago. i got some megabass knockoffs, griffins i think, and have been trying to figure it all out. lots to learn, these were just some freestyle ones i did. i've been mostly just trying to figure out the airbrush and paints and get a good feel for how it sprays. anyhow, here's a few of the ones i've come up with so far. the clear coat part is what pains me. the epoxy looks good when done properly, but it is not user friendly! it's really fun and almost therapeutic in terms of just mixing up some paint and going at it with nothing to go off of... next thing i'm going to work on is making some stencils and try to make some cool craw patterns and work on some more colorful bluegill type schemes. critique away guys, i can handle it! 6 Quote

A couple I tried some triple thick glaze spray from rust-o-Leum. It works pretty well as the coating but it seems to want to crack the paint on a couple baits so I went back to the epoxy. The clear coat is the hardest and most aggravating part for me!! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted June 24, 2017 Super User Posted June 24, 2017 Look great! I was expecting something a little more crayon-ish for a "early attempts", LOL. Better than I could do, that's for sure. 1 Quote

That's awesome! Love the chartreuse/yellow one.I've had to prime/paint bumpers for $45,000 vehicles before at work and they didn't come out nearly as good as this, I think I could get you a job lol 1 Quote
