One Sock Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Well I have to say I might be obssesed with frogs now. I ordered some of the plastic paints from lurecraft, and I must say they are fantastic, not just the paints but the customer service. i ordered them on Monday morning and they arrived yesterday afternoon. Talk about fast Anyway, I was thinking eyes and spots and after some trial and error decided eyes might be too much, so i opted for spots. while I might need to downsize the spots a bit. I like it. The paint drys quickly and does not come off, even when i globbed a bit I couldn't even pull it off without tearing the plastic. Phenomanal stuff. I was also able to dip tails on my worms directly into the paint, giving them some nice red tips. Here is the first batch that I came out with. after googling some frog images i have a ton of ideas for color patterns, and while I might never sell them in bulk,( they can take up to 20 minutes per 4 frogs) they would make nice presents for friends and to fill up my tackle box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Oh and the green color you see was made without any watermelon coloring, it's a nice mix of MF green pumpkin and MF green chartreuse. They are really getting good with their colors, i'm gonna try that same green with some red and purple flake in 5 inch sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Sock Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 What is your mix ratio ?They looks great. You ever make a color and then go damn that's nice and not write it down? Well that's what happened sort of, it was easy enough to remember 35 drops MF green pumpkin 10-12 drops MF Green Chartreuse 4 ounces plastic------no salt add green chartreuse as desired to achieve a smoking green watermelon pumpkin color I also used 1/8th of black 40 and black 62 Lurecraft paints for spots There might be a way to do it with less color, but I use MF exclusively as I have never tried any of the others ( lurecraft, dell) Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
