TX Fisher Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Will water based airbrush paint work on hardbaits if you put a clear-coat over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes as long as the clear coat holds up it will work One of the most common paints used is createx and it is water based. This is what I use personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 There are 3 basic “good to go” topcoats used by most hobby builders. Slow cure epoxy, moisture cured urethane (MCU) and uv light cured polyester resin. KBS Diamond is a MCU and is very popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlela Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 How thick is each coat of KBS? And how many coats are you using so that the bait holds up to wear and tear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
