Rockytop75 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hey guys just starting to get into soft plastics and have a few questions. First off when airbrushing what type/paint do you prefer ? I’ve heard conventional air brushes and copic which would be better? And lastly how on earth do you make a hollow body swimbait? I can’t find any info on this . Thanks for your time and any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 When painting a soft plastic bait there are not to many choices for paint and only one company that makes it. That company is Spikeit, they have two types one solvent based and one water based. The solvent one smell really bad and caution when using it should be a top concern. The water based one is great but take awhile to dry(unless you force it to dry with a hairdryer or heat gun).This one does need to be top coated with a solvent based clear or dipped in Plastic to seal it. It does dry but if stored touching each other they will stick to each other. As for making a hollow body swimbait I have a video on you tube that shows me making one and painting it too, look up Franksrooty2 and look for the one you want. I know it does not show how to get it off but you just slide it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
