JayC37jigs Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 With all the paints available today. I am stuck trying to tie a color pattern I have in my head. LOL! You know what I’m talking about. However, I’ve been using powder paint using regular light pumpkin as a base coat then reheating and sprinkling a light watermelon or green pumpkin on to break up the color and match the jig. Is there a paint that is actually already pumpkin(light brown) and green that I could buy and cut it down to a one step process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 If you are trying to get a two tone effect by mixing two powders into one powder especially the colors you are requesting, then I'm going to say no. Even if you combine your pumpkin brown with a green shake it up really well, you won't get a two tone effect. One color will overpower the other. However make a small batch and maybe it will work. Please post your results, maybe I am wrong. The only place I have seen this work are on marble powder paints and vein powder paints. There are powders that fishingskirts.com has that has a two tone effect that I believe you are looking for but don't have your colors. The process you describe has to be done at the powder paint manufacturing facility and that is way too expensive to even consider. When you are doing your two colors, you do not have to put an entire basecoat on as one color and then put on your second color. You can put your first color let's say on the bottom going half up the jig, then take your second color and go top down overlapping your other color so you won't have any raw jig showing. Doing two colors really isn't that time consuming. I hope I answered your question correctly. Others may have more info for you. Stay Tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC37jigs Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I was just trying to see if there was such a two tone color as in like a camo. You know how they have green with black spots or texture. Just trying to see if someone made a brown with green or orange spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I’ve mixed colors just to see what I get. Sometimes it turns out sort of like what you mentioned but I can’t count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC37jigs Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ok. Good info. I knew the marble and vein paint existed. I just didn’t know if the color combos I liked existed anywhere. I check all the stores that most of us shop for our powder paints. Right now I do a full base coat dip. Then sprinkle on whatever other color because I want the base coat to still show up a little. I like the look of the paints like the vein and marble. I just didn’t know if there was any new powder paints with a marble, veins, or dot effect with the brown and tan or orange, green and orange, or brown and orange. I’ve looked at do-it, Barlow’s, Jane’s net craft, lure parts online, skirts unlimited, and most of the other stores we all check. I was curious if anyone heard or seen of a color or paint anything close to what I mentioned a couple sentences up from here. Thanks for the replies.

smalljaw Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 The closest thing would be the Jig Armor green pumpkin orange camo. The orange is toned down a bit because of the green pumpkin but I'm not sure if it would work for you. The issue for you is there isn't really anything for that color. I do the same as you, pumpkin brown base coat and I add GP or watermelon over top. Here is a tip for any manufacturers looking on this site. Make a pumpkin color with green pumpkin or watermelon veining through it. I'd buy it and right quick!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Mixing black and school bus yellow makes green pumpkin. Adjust to your needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Fishing Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Check out the Stardust powder paints available from us and other retailers. There are a number of camo type colors that may be close to what you want. Stardust is different from powder paint - it creates a thicker, rubber-like coating - but we've been impressed with the colors and the application process is similar to powder paint.
