Got busy today

[Bkabina]

I decided to get busy today and paint some pearl pepper heads. I ended up doing 200, painted cured and sorted in groups of 10. 1/16 and 1/8 oz. with #4 and #2 hooks. Guess a good pouring session will be next since these were the last of the bare heads.

Nice, I use pearl pepper quite a bit myself. I like to paint eyes on mine,lately acrylic paint pens that I get at Hobby Lobby. One pen will paint thousands of eyes. Rarely do I ever fish a blind jig. I'm one who believes eyes make a difference when it comes to catching fish.

Nice painting!!!!!!! just tap some powder over the top for some two tones!!

Here's a crappy close up.

WOW!!!!!!! I have a jar of ProTech Pearl Pepper and mine don't come out like that!!! And yes I always keep it stirred up. I'll post a pic when I get home what mine come out.

 

[Bkabina]

I'm interested in seeing how yours came out.

Nice...

Couldn't find the pack with the jigs last night I'll take a photo tonight, as I'm gonna do some painting. They came out a really dark grayish color!!!

Here's a crappy close up.....

Picture looks great to me - shows the pearl micro glitter and the pepper. Looks like nice thin coats and clean work. :icon14: That mix also looks like it is a thinned out pearl color (can see the raw lead through it) with main ingredient being clear......... bet that would look really good over top of base colors too.

This isn't clear. The color actually has silver in it. It may look like you can see the lead showing through but it isn't. It looks like three stages. Silver base then pepper mixed in the pearl clear on top. That's why I said its a crappy picture.
I'll try to get a good picture once I dig out the good camera.

Here's how my pearl pepper comes out

 

[Bkabina]

Wow. How old is your powder and where did you get it from?

 

[Fatman]

I've only had it for a couple of months I got it from TJ's. This is dipped right into the jar which is totally stired up. I don't have any clear in it and even in a fluid bed it comes out the same.

 

[Bkabina]

Maybe it's just a bad batch you got.

 

[Fatman]

Why does your's look so clear.

 

[Bkabina]

I don't know. It is straight from the jar . It is pro-tech I ordered from bass pro.

 

[Fatman]

I'll have to copy your pic and send mine with it to TJ - might be a little to long to have it replaced but I'll check.

 

[Bkabina]

That's fine with me.
