6" crappies and baby bass

These are the three jointed lures that I originally base coated with aluminum rattle can paint. Big mistake. The Createx didn't bond to the aluminum (too slick), and the aluminum expanded in the heat and cracked the D2T top coat (another mistake on a wooden swimbait).

I stripped them down, resealed them, Krylon white primer, and then Createx and Auto Air.

The two crappies are painted with a silver underside and lower belly, black mid section and back, and then scaled with drywall mesh, and silver Auto Air. I sprayed irridescent green over the black back and shoulders on the green one after I removed the scale mesh. Then Krylon silver glitter, and Etex top coat. The pictures don't show the sparkle from the glitter. Shoot the photographer.

Dieter, the best part is it catches fish. I see some of the art work here, and I'm amazed at their beauty.

But I think the art is more to catch the fisherman, not the fish.
