Ge Khang Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 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. someone then mentioned i should add some blue and the black mark on the gills and so i did. i think these came out really well!

BigBassin144 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Those look good. I especially like the ones in the last pic. Quote
Ge Khang Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 thanks, i agree. i think the blue adds alot to them Quote

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. Quote

Super User islandbass Posted August 12, 2011 Super User Posted August 12, 2011 Nice work! Big M is right. I was foolish to think that the bait monkey didn't have relatives. Quote
Ge Khang Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 my brothers been fly tying and i couldnt help but noticed that he was using hard head clear epoxy for fly heads and wanted to try and see if i can coat it on my cranks. heres the outcome. 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. Quote
Cliff Logue Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 That is how alot of painters clearcoat their baits Quote
Ge Khang Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 oh alright, just wondering since from what ive been searching around, everyone likes to use the two part epoxy. Quote
