lure buddy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I just bought my first air brush and am going to start to paint my own crankbaits. What type of paint should I use vinyl etc...? Any help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneCoal Tackle Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hey lure buddy, I'm a rattle can man and don't own an airbrush but I see a lot of folks here are using Createx paints. Do a search of past posts and I think you'll find a wealth of paint info. Hope this helps. dj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr186 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 dj is correct. Do a search on Createx and you will find more info than you need. C-tex is already thinned for your airbrush. I would suggest going to your local hobby shop and at least get a few basic colors of C-tex. You can also use the cheaper acrylic paints from Wal-Mart but you will have to thin them. If you already have some C-tex you will know about how thin you need it. Windex is good to thin with. Also use a paint filter or an old pair of your wife's panty hose to strain the cheaper paint. You asked about "vinyl", I think you will find the general concensus on here will be to use acrylic. It is water based and easy to clean up. Use a top coat of devcon and you are set. Hope this helps.
