vabassen02 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ok guys and girls , I have checked the search engine on here about the G Finish for Bomber Crankbaits , nothing came up . Maybe I typed it wrong ...lol If anyone could lead me in the right direction of painting the bait and the bills in the g finish , that would be great .

BobP Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've never seen a reference to the "G Finish" here on TU. All I got was a bunch of Ebay Long A's with G Finish when Googled. Is this a glow or pearlescent paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vabassen02 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Not sure if it is a glow or a pearlescent color.... I am hoping to get a starting point . We are going to take our first crack at it tomorrow morning . Thanks in advance for any help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Bob, I haven't seen a G-finish in a long time. I could be wrong but if memory serves me right, it was kind of a prismatic finish with several different and subtle color hues/shifts as you turned or rotated the lure. vabassen02, Good luck with this one, I hope you are successful. Would like to see a pic if it works. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltshaker Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I consider myself familiar with PRADCO products, but, I have never heard of a "G Finish" Bomber. Edited January 30, 2012 by saltshaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Have never seen a G Finish Bomber either. I have seen quite a few Zara Spooks in what they were calling a G Finish and like John said it was sort of a prizmatic effect. Something like what you see on some of the sticky back lure tapes you see on spoons and spinners. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I thought it was used on Rebel Wee R's? Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 hi g finish was available in many pradco lures. we used them i long a-25 and other lures riplin red-fin. g finish was prone to shed quickly from pradco lures.once the lures chipped we used an airblower and the rest blew off completly. even the big boys have paint issues lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defish Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Looked at a new in the box one that I have in my "strategic supply" and the main difference between the "G-finish" and the standard flat Bomber finish is a gloss clearcoat with fine glitter in it. Bass Pro and Lurenet.com still offer a "G-finish" at least in the "G-Fleck Bengal Tiger" pattern. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm just ahobby builder, so this may not work for you. You can add really fine soft plastic glitter like hilite powder to cheap clear nail polish, or just buy some cheap polish that's clear with glitter already in it. That make a hard and waterproof glitter coating, either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
