    Fire Tiger Wake Bait
  2. Thanks Bp sounds like another plus to me.
  3. Yes it is prism tape. Its some pretty cool looking stuff but I've got to start ordering it online. Local fly shop has it but its $6 for a 4"x6" . I'm sure its cheaper online I just haven't looked. Hate ordering stuff online,,,,,,still waiting for some blank hard plastic shrimp I ordered a month ago...
  4. Thanks for the tips BP makes me feel better about the chrome baits. Also have a problem with etex running away from the sharp edges on pop r's and other baits 3-d features. Dipping in a MCU should take care of this issue too I assume? And I finally got the picture thing to work. Been using my computer at work to try to upload with no success so tried it on my new laptop and its pretty easy now. Must be something with programing on the one at work. Thanks for the all the help.........Joe
  5. Rapala twitchin rap in Black Gold. The speckled trout around here can't get enough of this color pattern.

    Mirrolure Mr 27

    Love doing these paint jobs over glitter but boy does it take some etex to cover it! This was my first try at painting the eyes using a stencil and airbrushing them. Think I'll stick to the drill bits and nail punches. haha
  7. I may try an spray a couple lures with the mcu but would like to stick with the dip process once I figure it out. I'm sure I'll make a big ole mess before I get it right but thats what the 200 plus old crankbaits I have are for. I have some chrome plated baits that I want to use this stuff on or will it cause any bad reactions that I should be aware of on those baits. Going to pick up a cheap airbrush for trying to spray a little of this stuff thinking about putting a nice fire tiger or shad pattern on one of my golf clubs. Thanks.........Joe

    Tiger Bream

    Thanks that meens alot coming from you guys All of your work is great and without TU I don't think they would look very good. Hats off to all the folks up here that are willing to share the tricks and tips of the trade. Thanks again..........Joe
  10. Thanks.I'm hoping the chrome on these holds up good and doesn't fade to bad like my Rapala twitchin raps. The stipers here on the Neuse River are going to pound this one...........I hope
  11. Thanks.I really enjoy painting bold patterns for topwater. Now if I can just get my mcu clear coat in the mail...........
  12. Wake Bait in Bumble Bee Tuna.....lol
  13. Chrome bait in Steel Shad

    Tiger Bream

    wake bait painted in Tiger Bream pattern.
  15. Going to remove some from the original can using that method into a jar for dipping and save some in the can to be used for spraying a different project.. Sorry for the confusion I didnt mention that before.
  16. I've read about the storage issues and don't see that being a problem but was wondering how well they hold up. Pretty sure I'm going to use the "tap the can method". I'm guessing that I should do two dips instead of the one you guys do with the DN product. Currently I use all createx paints but plan to switch over to their auto air and wicked paint as I hear the MCU may cause the paint to buckle under the top coat. Is there a preffered primer for plastic baits in this application? And as far posting pics I can get through step one but it will not let me go to step two......reveiw and publish. I formatted all my pics to the correct sizes and still nothing. I uploaded a bunch on photobucket but haven't tried that route yet. Maybe it's my computer......who knows What I do know is the speckled trout and redfish here in eastern NC are chewing, I got a bunch of new toys and I can't go cause I dropped the tranny in truck Oh well guess I'll sling some paint until......(sorry had to vent a little) Thanks Joe
  17. Are there any folks here that use these products and can give some advice? Been using etex on my inshore baits such as rapala twitch n raps and mirrolures but want something thinner for 3d cranks and wakebaits. Don't like the way the epoxy covers the gills and scale patterns. Dick nite sounds like a great product but it's a little out of my price range. And how and the heck do you post pics? Been trying for a year.......(computer dumb) Thanks in advance for any help and this place kicks some serious but. You guys are awesome! !!!!!
