MikePaintsBaits Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) If you want to keep that foil effect , but change from gold to silver , I'd sand the bait & foil it with silver foil , paint your back black & clear coat. I'm sure some of the better air brush people will chime in. Just my 1/2 cent Info Mike P.

bassnbrad Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 The easy way, which may not be the best, but will certainly get the job done is as you asked "do I lighty sand the top coat & paint it silver?" If you LIGHTLY spayed the silver, allowing the foil to still shine through it would be pretty kewl. You might try sanding, painting with a translucent paint and or add some glitter to the top coat. To me, Mikes suggestion would be best if you want that true Silv/Blk finish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
