I have the Pro-Tec pink powder paint, so I'll paint some up and take comparison photos once my order arrives.
I'm hoping it's really bright shocking pink. Great color for both crappie and salmonids. Was out at the reservoir today and was messing around with a pink/chart/chart 1/16th ounce round head. The spot I was fishing at has a T-shaped dock that goes out about 20 feet. Dropped the jig straight down and caught a 14" bow right off the bottom in about 8' of water.

I painted a few 1/8th ounce round heads last night.
The pink I had before is very, very close to this pink. I bought the original jar from Crazy Angler and assumed it was Pro-Tec, but on his site it lists CA as the manufacturer. So it may or may not be Pro-Tec.
That being said, Rosey's FL neon pink is extremely bright. The closest color I can think to describe it is Barbie pink or the pink on the Baskin Robbins logo.

Sorry this took so long to post. It's been quite an ordeal getting this shot! I wanted to use my actual camera instead of my smartphone because the color balance on the phone's camera isn't that great. Makes everything look dark. The weather hasn't cooperated either. Cloudy the past few days, and when the sun came out for a brief period yesterday, I found the batteries on my camera were dead. Since it uses a proprietary battery, I couldn't just swap a fresh pair. But everything finally came together today!
Left to right:
Safety Orange - Safety Blue - Fluorescent Neon Pink - Pro-Tec(?) Hot Pink
Taupe - Varsity Mirror Black - Centennial Gold - 007 Silver
The black is almost identical to Pro-Tec black. I also bought a pound of clear coat. I may clear coat the gold and sliver in the future. I baked them all at 375 for 15 minutes. I did not bother with adjusting the time/temp for every color, since I mostly paint small numbers of multiple colors at the same time. If I were painting a lot of one color at the same time, I might reconsider but as it is, life is too short to worry about the paint on something that's probably going to end up hung on the bottom or decorating a bush.

Yep, looks like I'll be placing 1 more order! I gotta have some of that pink! I guess Flo Red & Pearl White will land on the order as well. RD, let me know what you think about that JD Yellow & the Fl Red.

Will do Pepop. In the bag its not far from hot pink. Im thinking a 50/50 mix of it and pink will be MONEY! The JD yellow doesnt appear like it will be very bright but i have been fooled before.

Rainy day so I had to settle with a quick pic in the shop under the fluorescents. All the ultra minnows are with roseys paint except for the bottom yellow one. Shoe was right the Pink is spot on! The round is protec pink. The neon green is brighter than crazy's green lantern shown below it. The john deere yellow is a little brighter than the protec yellow but its close. THe varsity black is great high gloss color.
