Obviously, i cant airbrush. Thanks! Diemai hand paints all his lures. Here is a video of him testing a few swimbaits, it will give you something to shoot for. Diemai mentions model enamel paints at 4:45 in the video: Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be a good paint to use to paint it? Obviously, i cant airbrush. Thanks! Hey I did a spraypaint step-by-step tutorial that may help you with paint steps. You'll have to seal the wood first.(but i dont do bare wood cranks so i cant help you there) Heres the link to the tutorial: http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/22499-lure-painting-tutorial-froggy-pattern/page__p__168062#entry168062 Edited June 30, 2011 by RedSkullz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
