nova Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Jim; looks like olive with some black in it. Little hard to tell with the small picture. www.novalures.com Edited December 19, 2008 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Camo green and Tundra green from Wildlife colors will be a close match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Looks like a greyish green, or a greenish grey. I'd start with basic trans green, and add trans grey until I got the shade I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's bit hard to see the colour (pic size), but I think I would mix a dull green with a little black and thin it down (add some matte base to bind it), and then spray several layers, until you get the colours you want, or as others have said, maybe mix 'Tamiya Opaque', smoke and green, which may also take a few coats- all this over maybe a dull cream/eggshell base. Always sounds easy?????????????????pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks Guy's for responding. I will try a few of the ideas. I have tried in the past with other greens and black but I have not hit it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snax Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 This is just a guesstimate but try 4 parts forest green to one part opaque gray. In my head this seems about right. I mix paints on a daily basis and that's about as close as I can suggest without actually doing it. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Component sysytems-waterbased paint Jig & Lure Paint Supplier to the Fishing Tackle Industry - CS Coatings I assume you're painting hardbaits. When you lightly shoot black over the watermelon(top and SLIGHTLY over the side) it darkens the watermelon.I used to make my own watermelon paint color for years w vinyl paints. I never saved the formula.It did have lime green,black and brown in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
