canuck Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi Guys. I am interested in putting detail lines and adding top coat colour on existing plastic swim baits and grubs. I have an air brush so would like to get the scoop on what paints would work best and how to get the best lasting finnish. I have used permanent marker pens before but experienced bleeding and loss of crisp edge details and the colours did not last. Any ideas and info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your feed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 There are only two that I know of and both are available from spike it. One is water based and is easy on your lungs. That one needs to be top coated with solvent based clear or dipped in hot plastic to seal your results. The other one is solvent based and works just as well but the smell is horrible. It does not need to be top coated but good ventilation is a must. Those are pretty much your options for soft plastic. They have a good variety of colors and remember if you want you can mix powder colorant in there clears and make many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Have you guys tried water-based sharpies for adding details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
