Mercury Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Man I have to tell you, I got a few spinners from Coley, and he can sure lay some paint down. Great job Coley! And I thought you were just into plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thanks Merc., I really appreciate the nice comments about my painting. But, I don't do plastic, only cranks. I used to do plastic several years ago. I will do plastic in dire need. But, with so many great plastic folks on this site (such as yourself) I would rather buy or swap for what I want.

Mercury Posted February 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Coley if you want I will try to take a few pics of the work you did. My better half now wants to get into making spinners after seeing your work. BTW I will send you a few unfinished banannas so you can play a bit with them.

Tally Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey Coley Nice looking baits!! Did you paint the blade? What type of paint did you use to paint the blade. You have a good imagination. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Thanks to you all for nice comments. Yes, I painted the blades. Because I don't make many I sand the blades with 320 paper, then prime with krylon white primer. Then I use walmart craft paint which is in the craft section. I use an airbrush on the blades and a regular small paint brush on the body. Then Devcon 2T on all of it. The skirts are dyed Lumaflex. I use India ink in various colors and spike-it worm dye. If I was making a lot of baits I would use some type of self etching primer on the blades. I have discovered you can use fingernail polish over the white primer and it will start to dissolve the primer and give a very unique color.
