Jnolen Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Have any of you tried the color shifting paints from Spaz stix? It's for RC bodies but seems like it would make some interesting baits too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snax Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Haven't tried that particular brand but I do use color shifting paints from Auto Air Colors on some of my baits. They look really good when clear coated and viewed in sunlight. You can get some incredible combinations by mixing the hue shifting paints together!

Inquiring minds want to know. I've actually tried some of the Wildlife Flip Flop paints, and it was hit and miss. Mostly miss. Either I'm not doing it right, or the effect is too subtle for me to see. Or I'm blind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'm blind! Auto Air Gem Ruby, is one of my favorites. Gem Jade, is nice and I just ordered some of the Flair color. It ain't cheap so my hopes are high. I have also mixed some of my own using Jacquard powdered products and Translucent Base, Duo Green-Yellow, Interference Violet, Interference Blue and Bronze (i think). This option is much more affordable and you can create some very subtle or bold highlites based on whether you spray them on clear lures, dark base coats or light base coats. The lighter the base color the more subtle the effect and more passes you will need to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks. I'll check them out online. Do you make your own paints, or did you just have the Jacquard products you mentioned around?

Jnolen Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 So these shifting paints don't do much over a clear lure or light colors, or do you just need to apply a few coats of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snax Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 A true shifting paint like the Gem colors can be sprayed over anything. The highlight colors are lightly misted over a base color so that at times you see the base and other times, the highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allstate48 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 What is the main web site? I've bought this from Hobby Haven, and was told they can't get it any more. Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstate48 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Da! Didn't take much to find the site. Sorry. One more question. If you order paint this time of year, what's the chance of it freezing, and going bad? Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Rods Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks. I'll check them out online.Do you make your own paints, or did you just have the Jacquard products you mentioned around?

parrothead127 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've used some of the flo colors from Spaz Stik with good results, I have some of their rootbeer color, and am having trouble with my clear coat making that color run. Haven't used any of the color shifter tho. As far as having the paint freeze, it is laquer based, so you should not have any concerns on that.

Downriver Tackle Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 So these shifting paints don't do much over a clear lure or light colors, or do you just need to apply a few coats of it? You can spray them over anything, but to get the true color shift intended, they have to go over black. Makes for a pretty dark bait though. You can get really cool effects with other dark colors. I like to spray them over dark greens, reds, and blues. The combinations are endless. Over light colors, you get more of a standard pearl effect. I've found though, that it's much cheaper to add dry pearl pigment to clear base for those effects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddl Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 up for a mysterious paint that seems to be underutilized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Question #1 Can you spray over createx paint or do you have to use enamels to under coat. I know they say use their products for under coating. #2 With what do you clean your airbrush with. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Here is the Spaz green to purple over a standard black base. The Flair stuff was a disappointment. It kind of added a very fine holographic sparkle.over dark colors. Better off adding flake to the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
