KelpKritter Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I spend most of my time making hard baits and multi-color soft plastic pours. I am in the process of making two new soft plastic swimbaits that I want to paint after the pours. The only soft plastic paints I can find are the ones from Spike-it. Impressions on that paint, if you use it, or other recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, DaveB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelpKritter Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Looks like I’ll go with the paints from spike-it. Hopefully I’ll have my new molds made in the next two weeks. Looking forward to trying something new. Thanks for the help. DaveB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Get a great mask filter and ensure good ventilation. 3m 60926 is the best but it is pricey. I also use a fresh air supply system at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Spike It paints work fine. And they have several colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Speaking of colors. If you have colorant for soft plastic worm making you can use the clear paint and colorant and make your own colors on the fly. I do this ALOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use a base color for your plastic baits, and then paint them, or pour them clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc14 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) This is a pre-made bai that started out as white . The pictures don’t do it any justice but it has a copper pearl to it but it was done with plastic coloant and clear for lureworks Edited August 6, 2018 by wallyc14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
