b75nweav Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've done one before but instead of painting the tail I just faded the paint job to match the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you prep the lure before painting? I have a 4" shad I want to repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Mark, no difference then a regular paint job on the 4" bbz-1 Here is one that I do, I have also painted the tail and clear coated it on another color. The 8' BBZ is the tail I asked about in another post about painting a soft plastic, I guess the tail needs to be died.
