Bassfan2 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 If I put red transparent paint over a chrome rattle trap can I come out with a red chrome finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGagner Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I really don't know as I've never done this in my limited experience but I was wondering if you used some transparent paint. I do know that it allows the underlying color to show through if you paint over another color. I often use a transparent color over silver paint. It works pretty good. So, for example, transparent blue over a lure I just painted with silver paint looks like blue silver, if that makes any sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yes, if you use a TRANSPARENT red acrylic paint or a red dye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaugeenDrifter Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 There is a you-tube video by a lure painter named engineered angler, he takes a chrome body bait and sprays it with transparent yellow and makes the upper half of his homemade lure appear gold in color. He uses acrylic transparent's. Check his videos out, he has several where he over-paints chromes with trans paints. (sorry if I am not allowed to give his name on here, new to site) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
