BassQuatch INC Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hello, Ok, So I've tried looking all over YOUTUBE and I cant seen to find anything on painting "SEE THROUGH" hardbaits. Does anybody have a link or some step by step instructions on how to do it? I really like see through hardbaits for CLEAR water but I want to paint my own now. I do have a set of Createx transparent paints but not sure how they work just yet. I will attach an image of a crank as in example of what I'm talking about. thank you in advance.

BobP Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 It’s simple. Instead of starting with a white color basecoat, you just start with your transparent colors and shoot them lightly to get the translucent color scheme you want. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
