Ultimate Predators Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I been painting Lures for a long time now. www.ultimatepredators.com one effect that I'm seeing lately and I hope I can explain is that I see cranks with wavy vertical lines on the sides of the Crankbait in a different color than the body of the lure and then there is an outline of the wavy stripes in yet a third color and it looks great. I can think of ways to achieve that with stencils but the blending im seeing in my opinion must be done with a different method. Does anyone know how this is achieved ?

Ultimate Predators Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yes I can see now how it's done. Thanks. I think I've seen some pictures where the white outline might be done with a paint brush just not sure. Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) I saw that about a month ago and my helper and myself have done a couple. We have been doing it with tiger stripes. We put one color down (sunburst or whatever) then we move the stencil up just inside of the outline, then we go back over that with a light dusting of brown on a few baits. This stencil is a jagget outline. Solar called it a ghost effect we were calling it inlaying. Gotta change my terminology. Either way a really cool technique. He is always coming up with something.

stretcher66 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I used a empty gallon size paint can i had in the garage to make my stencil maker. it took 15 min to make and did not cost anything, as i had everything already laying around. i use plastic milk cartons for the stencils they may not work as good as the stencil sheets you buy. but they are free and plentiful..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Pretty interesting Strecher66. Is the thickness of the milk container the issue or the plastic make-up? I made a flat top box years ago out of scrap plywood, cabinet grade. This plywood gives you a smooth surface. I also made it big enough to do 1' baits. I just tape over the drill holes that I don't need open. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) actually not much of an issue at all, occasionally one may get a crease in it, but i can usually just reheat that area with the vacuum on and it straightens out. http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/10602653/Make_your_own_stencils_for_pai Edited October 14, 2016 by stretcher66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
