would love to see a vid of that being done. Outstanding!!!! is it done with airbrush??
Thank you all for the kind words. GTF, I use a hobby sandblaster to spray the powder paint, it looks like a cheap airbrush. The one I have is a model 260 Badger and by the looks of the powder paint spray gun TJ's Tackle, Barlows, and all the other suppliers are selling I would think it is the same. The problem with spraying powder is you can't make detail, it is impossible to do fine lines but it does a great job of blending colors and lets you do fading effects from one color to the next so you can get some lures that look good and all it takes is practice and an imagination. One thing I will say is that if you mess with compressor setting you can do more, the spinnerbait head in the pic really isn't a good picture but it was the best I could do with my skill and camera. Anyway, I turn the compressor up to do the body so the powder comes out in a fine mist, when I'm done with the first body coat it looks like a freshly poured bait but insted of it being shiny silver it looks as if the lead was blue and that is because of the ultra fine coat and then to do the red throat or the back where you don't want the over spray you turn down the compressor but you only do quick little burst because the powder will come out heavier so you need to learn what the setting do as far as the powder flow but you can do a lot with it.
