CustomBaits4You Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I have been researching custom crankbaits and BB Lures painted the best baits I've ever seen. Does anybody have any idea how's someone would go about painting with such detail? Edited November 7, 2014 by Rickimaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 There is a lot of different details going on with that paint job. What I do is look at each individual feature and decide how that was painted then work out an order in which each one was applied. You Tube is a good place to see videos of actual lure painting.

Silo1688 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I notice several different ways that bait was completed. My first suggestion is to look at the colors between the scales first and work your way out. Like layers. that should give your answer. Write it down, then the best part is to test it out.

RayburnGuy Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 The first thing would be to learn how to get really good with your airbrush. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomBaits4You Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 LOL. Aint that the truth. Ive only been airbrushing around 8 months so I still got a lot of learning to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using an airbrush for a little over 5 years and I'm still a hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Another thing that you should do is get some quality paint. Quality paints flow so much better than the cheap stuff. You don't want overspray and you don't want grainy looking paint. A really good airbrush will put the paint only where you want it. Imagine painting that bait and when you shoot the blue you mess it up! There is a lot of tallent and skill in that paint job. And that my friend, is all up to you. But remember.... he did it and so can you. Good luck! Skeeter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomBaits4You Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 The quality paint is a good point, I use the cheapest stuff I can find. 50 cent bottles of actinic paint from Walmart. Thin with water and it works, but I have some createx and it's a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
