OUcatfish Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hi ladies and gentleman.. I am new to lure making. I have a compressor and air brush I got from a friend.. Is there a generic list of createx paints that look good on baits so I won't waste cash on colors that I won't likely use. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsouth Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Location and type of forage would greatly determine the colors you need. Basic colors: white, black, green, purple, yellow, red and burnt orange but as you go down the rabbit whole.... the sky is the limit.

Hillbilly voodoo Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Paint colors is preference based in my opinion my self I use a lot of pearls, opaque white and black for base coats and fluorescents the most. But I use lots of others and mix my own too pick the colors you personally fish with for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 2010 reducer, Transparent base, Airbrush restorer. Wicked: Det White, Det black, Det sepia, Det Moss green, Pearl gold, pearl silver Createx: Pearl blue, Pearl white, Iridescent Red, IR yellow, IR green, Transparent brite yellow, T Red oxide, T Dark Brown, Flo yellow, Flo Sunburst, Flo Violet, (flo white) Folkart: color shift red, green, and violet, titanium. The Wicked detail colors can be made transparent by adding T base and reducer. White then pearls make an excellent base. Transparent, iridescent, and Flo can be layered to achieve many colors. IR and color shift make excellent highlights. T bright yellow turns silver to gold. This list cuts out a lot of duplication, yet covers almost all your color wheel. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
