Does anyone have experience using CREATEX paint on Soft Plastic? My brother has an airbrush and paint I can use.

Thanks

your talking about the water based paint from Wallmart and some hobby store correct?

it works and it works pretty good, first you need to clean the baits off with accetone or something that drys and gets the oil off.

then thin the paint our with HOT water, dont thin it too much or too little than paint it on and let it sit for a day or 2.

the water in the lake Wont rub it off very fast. I know I was shocked also. you can dip your bait as well after you painted.

I have a pic somewhere of some swimbaits painted with the paint and was pretty shocked that it worked and stayed on.

if your paint is Too thick it will crack, I was also told to bake it on with a heat gun or oven

the nice thing about it is you dont have to worry about the fumes as its water based and its cheap. but the paint seems to produce a dull finish unless you dip them after they are painted

Thanks. There is a big variety of colors in this paint out there. I think I am going to try it. here is the link to the paint I was talking about. I don't think I want to spend alot on the LC paints. I hear they work well though.

You might find some info at the link below that will be helpful. The topic was about painting plastic frogs.
