I ordered all my pearl pigments off ebay,some guy sells it for around $10 a bag,which will come with plenty to do a lot of baits.. Spaz Stix paint is awesome but must be sprayed in a vented room or outside,top notch airbrush paint,no thinning needed,spray out the bottle. And thanks for the compliment barry,patience and practice is all it takes,send me a message and I'll get you some info on the blanks I use.. or go to my Facebook,it's neo lures and we can chat more on there.. good luck bud
