I can't really give you a color but I do have some advise for you. Check out skirt colors and look for the ones that are close to what you want, the reason is the pictures don't really show the true color. I get skirts that you would never think looked the way they do judging from the picture, there is another thing you can do also, get skirt material that is a shade darker and a shade lighter and pair them together, this will give you the illusion in the water of the color you are looking for. I try to match skirt and body colors but it isn't always possible especially when using metallic colors so I often will use a clear hologram color with a bold color and in the water it looks good. Good luck on the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of them on the Internet I’ve found some: Motor oil http://do-itmolds.co...&path=3_158_254 Motor oil with red glitter http://www.jannsnetc...al/360750.aspx# Motor oil with blue glitter http://www.lurecraft...kirt-layers:861 It is not so easy to define what exact color you'll get really. Color on the screen is the different from real. Edited April 26, 2012 by ING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranker Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks guys ,I am going to try the ones janns netcraft sells.They look close in the pictures so maybe they will work for me,I normally buy my skirt material from skirts unlimited but they dont even sell a motor oil! I also ran across the company called Hagens online and have ordered a catalog from them because it looks like they have a few good colors that are hard to find also.

MonteSS Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I bought the Lurecraft a while ago and it is like used motor oil. Very dark. The zoom motor oil is more of an amber. I would look at that color tabs. Send a lure sample to Fishingskirts and let him match it. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukey28 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 A million years ago, when I was playing with making my own soft plastics, I mixed some scuppernong jelly worms with some chartruese worms and made my own motor oil. The scuppernong worms were todays pumpkinseed color without the black flake. Maybe getting pumpkinseed colored skirts and putting chartruese dye on them would give you the color you want. or maybe leaving them in a plastic bag with chartruese soft plastics so the chartruese bleeds into the silicone might work too.
