mark poulson Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Someone on another forum posted a question about using glow paint on cranks, and that got me thinking. Dangerous, I know. I have lots of Glonation white/green powder, so I mixed some in Createx transparent medium, and shot it through my HP-C+ .3 mm air brush. It shot fine. So I painted up a new crank in a bluegill pattern, using the glo medium. I shot a white primer, Pearl White base coat, and then shot the glo medium over the sides only. I kept adding thin layers, heat drying, and checking in a dark closet. When I got the bait to truly glow in the dark, I put it under the tule scaling fabric on my spray easel, shot Pearl Silver over the lower portion of the sides, and a moss green over the upper portion and shoulders. When I took it back into the dark closet, the scale lines glowed. But they still look white in the light. All this is to say it's another thing to try, and the Glonation powder mixed with transparent medium and thinned a little with 4011 reducer shoots just fine through a .3 mm air brush. And it cleans up just the same as any other Createx paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Neat application Mark! Thanks. I've used the Glonation acrylic white/green paint and its particles are way too big for an airbrush so I have to use a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
