CUTTER Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am just getting started in trying to make hollow swimbaits. I was wondering if after the first dip when still hot I could add powder paint to the plastic then re-dip a clear coat of plastic over the whole bait.Trying to get away from painting with air brush and still have a nice contrasting look on the back of bait.

nova Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't use an airbrush; although I've tried it and I'm a little concerned about the explosive vapors with the thinners needed. I plan on trying it again using a different type of paint. Go to my page and look at the pics to see what you can do just by dipping. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks Cutter. They are all dipped. There is only one color scheme that I do use a brush to apply some "magic" powder. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAOS Tackle Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 If you do use an airbrush stick with water based paints like Createx and thin with windex and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Just what I planned on doing but with a twist. I always have to put a twist on things; lol. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
