Newbie- soft swimbait airbrushing

Recommended Posts

Ive been hand pouring baits for a long time but never ventured into airbrushing.  Now that I’ve gotten into pouring large trout size swimbaits.  I would like to start airbrushing trout patterns on my baits.  
Need recommendations on what airbrush and equipment to purchase including the paints.   
thanks

Many different airbrushes, I like Iwata brand.

SB Coat paint from Lure Works. This is a solvent based paint designed for soft plastic baits.

This is important, get a good paint respirator rated for organic vapors from solvents.

If you can't afford a paint booth rated for flammable materials, paint outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

This type of paint is very bad for your lungs and is flammable. Don't half ass the safety precautions.

Some people use water based paints and then dip in clear plastisol, I've never tried it.
