Mags Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Anyone have a color (paint brand and color) they can recommend to get a green like the Rapala Green Gizzard Shad. It's a metallic green. A new Rapala color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mags Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks for the replies. Here is how I ended up painting it. Platinum metallic createx auto air base, Tamiya chrome silver scales using small mesh on the shoulders, Tamiya olive green hard on the back and fading into the Tamiya silver, Createx Wicked fastback green lightly sprayed over the Tamiya on the back and light on the green fade for the metallic. Used Tamiya clear yellow on the chest, bringing it up a little onto the sides. It looks good enough and will be a nice finesse color. Easy to paint. Close to a foiled bait I use already, but I don't have to foil. Probably add a little silver holo flake in the clear. When I get them cleared I'll post a few pics. Probably next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
