This is how I paint my 'bows; pearl white after the primer, gill red stripe + gill plates, thin blue line under red line & along jaw line, a slight misting of brown around the eye and gill plate, violet above red line slightly blending the red/blue/violet lines together. Blend the head an gill plate with violet. Hit the whole bait with a shimmering gold mist [not the belly]. And you can paint the back whatever color you choose. On the baits below all I changed was the top color. Use dots of different sizes.
