Thanks, I'm going to try everything. Hopefully I can get thisbait painted soon. PS how do you post a pic on this site?

OK, I tightened the nozzle and it was still bubbling. I took it apart and am soaking it overnight. I did spray a coat of paint on my lure with thinned opaque white createx. It came out splattered. I turned up the psi to 30# and it was better. I thought a gravity feed brush was supposed to take lower pressure than that. Maybe i'm not thinning enough or it's clogging? Frustrating process here. I appreciate the help so far. i'll try again tomorrow.

I have a Brand new air brush and the thinned paint is bubbling out the pinhole in the cup. How thin does the paint need to be. im using createx opaque white and createx thinner. what ratio is necessary? I even added water but still the same. What adjustments do I need to make. i'm totally new to this airbrush.

Sure thing...i'm off to Dixie Art Supply to buy some colors and an air brush today. I'm painting a 10" gizzard shad with 5 sections made from a tupelo tree that I cut myself. It's a huge bait but it swims fine. Tupelo is a very bouyant wood and took a lot of lead shot to get it straight. It's my very first handmade wood lure. I used info from a few of these sites for this project. When it's done, (pending success) i'll post the details. I'm sure iv'e done most of it wrong or the hard way. The baby bass is still "in the mill" and not ready for paint just yet.

Can anyone give me a list of the best colors to do a baby bass paint job. I plan to buy auto air and createx paint. Especially wondering how to achieve that irridescent olive color. Thanks for any help. Also, does anyone use a gold paint marker for scale tips or should I use airbrush and stencil. I'm making a 9" baby bass swimbait.
