dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I am currently tried every possible way to come up with a middle vein color on the top shelf smokin shad. The vein has a deep gold color that goes with chartreuse vein it appears to be either glitter or powder. Its a translucent vein. I tried gold highlite it changes the color to much. I tried smoke gold pearl with the chartreuse that didn't work out. I also have some fringe tackle table rock that has very similar gold color as well. I am needing help to match this or at least point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I looked and that bait comes in a lot of different colors. Maybe a pick of the one you want to match would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 The color isn't the issue it's the gold color that goes with it. The gold is not hi light because it's to bright, and chartreuse doesn't change colors like when you add hi lite.Hi lite makes it change to a light color I been racking my brain it looks like some kind of powder. The fringe baits has the same going on. I don't know what it could be I don't use the powder colors except hi light's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMc1 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's a pearl powder not a hilite. you will probably need to cut into it to see what colour it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I will try that. But like the white pearl powder i can change it with color. Will this stay gold even with chart mixed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) no not a white pearl powder, a coloured pearl powder http://www.ispikeit.com/Store/c-79-pearl-glow-powders.aspx adding colour to a regular white pearl won't get the desired effect.

Apdriver Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'm scratching my head a bit on this one too. It almost looks like a very fine gold glitter, hand poured as a vein and I can't tell what color it's in. Definitely a lot going on with that bait. I think that some .008 glitter is available.

dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 See I am up in the air because one bait is had poured the other is injection it's so hard not get air bubbles in a hand poured. There both identical in the gold they have. I know from experience that you add colorants to pearl like the white it will change the color we that one has chart vein with the gold pearl will it change the pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 bait is clear when you hold it up so glitter is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I couldn't get those pics to open up. I'll try some more. If it is a fine glitter, I did check and here's a link to LPO's version but there are others. http://lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Extra-Fine-Glitter/Extra-Fine-Glitter-1oz.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Read my last post, if it is gold, then a gold pearl powder is what you need, just go easy with it. Edited December 6, 2014 by DaveMc1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaiden38 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks guys for the help going to make an order and see if I can get this color down. You learn somthing everyday you pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) If I were trying to get that effect, I'd pour the belly, then a clear. Over the top of the clear I'd add Dave's gold pearl powder by sprinkling it on with a salt shaker, and then I'd add the top color. If you have the clear hot enough, the powder should sink in a little, and it will give the clear a yellowish tint, I think. The clear would probably yellow for me on it's own! P.S. That bait looks like a lot of work to duplicate. Good luck. Edited December 7, 2014 by mark poulson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 A shot in the dark, but...... LC Minnow Silver (contains the micro glitter which gives you that powder effect) Gold hi-lite 1 drop black (just to darken it a bit) Minnow silver was always a lifesaver for me; just make sure you shake the heck out of it before using because the glitter will separate from the liquid.

ReflexionSwimbaits Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 The effect you're after can be gotten by doing a lighter more translucent color mixed with a colored pearl powder. Try to picture the top shelf and the fringe without any pearl additives in you mind - you'll immediately notice that the colors are very translucent. That's the first step to getting it right - use slightly less color and more pearl powder. That helps create that seamless blend because the hard lines of changing color are replaced by a pearl transition. The next step is finding the right blends of colors/pearls to create your effect.

mark poulson Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've gotten that effect, more or less, by doing my second pour (open pour, top pour swimbait mold) while the first pour was a little too hot, so the two plastic colors melted into each other more at the joint. It made for a very strong joint, and an interesting effect, but it was hard to duplicate. As the saying goes, timing is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Try using copper color. We tried to produce gold in our tube baits and after a lot of off color we stumbled onto the copper color and it worked perfect. Hope it works for you.
