Strike King Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Sorry if this has been asked 1000 times before but... Many soft plastics (such as shad bodies) have stripes or spots that are obviously painted on them. Can anyone tell me how to do that? I would like to give my baits a professional look so no sharpie will do the trick! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAE73 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Want to tell us what brand and where to get some???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Attack Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Want to tell us what brand and where to get some???? I have just bought some for air brushing my baits, it works really well. It seems to be a big secret as it took me some time and a lot of trial and error to find the right paint. I just bought a compressor from Home Depot on clearance, was $129.99 down to $39.00, might be worth checking out you local store if you need a compressor. Email if you want to know more about the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike King Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 OK, I've done the searches here and I just am not too clear on what I'm reading. Can anyone tell me if PolySil is the way to go or not? BTW, what's all the secrecy about? It seems lots of folks are painting soft plastic (except me that is).

The Dutchman Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Would decoy paint work for plastic lure painting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike King Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 not everyone just a select few paint plastics...... That's sure going to be a surprise to all those folks producing painted shad bodies. So you're not sharing info, just selling baits correct?

earthworm77 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 First, I used to own a Trans Am and it had those plastic bumpers that got scuffed all the time, I used automotive Flex paint to make them look new again. Has anyone tried that? Next, my wife used to have a Saturn, the whole damn car was plastic and they used to let you hit it with a hammer in the showroom, how about Saturn Touch up paint? Mills, if you find out, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macattac Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 i read that there was a breakthrough in plastic paint from both lure craft and dynasty but havent seen anything yet just wondering what the status is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Boy's Woman Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 We ordered the paint last week and it is suppose to be in by the end of this week I would think. There are a couple kinds we could have ordered - one dries really quick and the other dries slower so it will work well in an air brush. We chose the later because it is more versatile. We will have it in 4 ounce bottles and in white, black, flor. orange, hologram, red and chartreuse. If we see it sells well we will expand the colors.
