heath0620 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 hello everyone, this is my first visit to this site and i can;t wait to get to paint. My first question is where do i get this paint everyone is painting with?? will the paint you buy at walmart work????I don;t think there is a hobby lobby or anything like that around here in bristol virgina area. Please be patient with me as i'm new to trying this lure painting thing. i'm sure i will have a million questions. Is there anyone near bristol va/tenn???

emptycooler Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'll be in Bristol for the race this week but leaving after the race. You can order paint at www.dixieart.com I use createx paints. Hope this will help get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes the waterbased craft paint you get at Walmart will work very well. I use them all the time. You will have to thin them with water. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northrivergeek Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I use craft paint and createx .. I had been using a cheap airbrush I got for 5 bucks on sale at harbor freight.. then was looking for cheap but better airbrush on eBay .. finally broke down and bought a airbrush city #1102 PRO Dual Action Air-Brush Kit .. paid 39 shipped for it .. man it is like going to sleep in the dark ages and waking up in 2006 .. Wow what a difference it is .. much better detail razor sharp lines.. I did some practice on paper yesterday with it .. cant wait to try it out on some baits. :-D .. oh and by the way welcome to the underground.. I started making baits in Dec 05, I now have local guys chasing me around wanting to know where I bought my baits lol .. I keep telling them I make my own,.. they just look at me like I'm lying to them.. Even won a tourney on them last week! Feels great to win money on baits I learned how to make here!!! I cant think everyone here enuff for all the help they have giving me !! I'm currently working on a rainbow trout hard head soft tail swim bait .. as soon as get it perfected will post it here !

If he wants some, tell him you can get him some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
