Ron Burgundy Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have just gotten started painting and have been learning as I go. I had a question that I thought someone on here could help with. I'm trying to paint a bone color for a crank bait. I'm not sure what colors I need to mix together. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ron, this question has been asked several times here on TU. Do a search and you should find what you're looking for. However, the bone color that I use is Walmart's Almond in a spray can. I catch a lot of fish on it. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 My bone is white with either a little yellow or a little grey. I like the yellow bone better. You can add some brown instead, too. It's a "season to taste" kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denb Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 this mix was posted here so it is not my creation: 2 ozs of plain white: add 5-6 drops of brown-mix good a few drops of gray-mix a couple drops of yellow-mix if too white add more brown if too bright add gray more yellow will give buttery tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Moreau Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yes I do the same.... white with a few drops of yeller... A decent Bone if you are lazy pick up some folkart at wallyworld in "Ivory". Reduce by atleast 50% and make sure to strain it with nylon. Metalic Champagne is an awesome off white kind of bony color too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
