Thanks guys, that spinnerbait has been a killer, I've tried bullet heads, arkie style, a style H but the Ultra Minnow is one of the best designs I ever used and that includes my terminators and Stanley Wedge spinnerbaits. It will go deeper and comes through grass incredibly well, just a really well thought out and executed design. The way I painted these was with a Badger model 260 hobby sand blaster, it is the same thing places are selling as the powder paint air brush. I don't screw the jars onto the airbrush, instead I use a shot pick up tube and just grab the jar with my hand while holding the airbrush, that allows the tube to go into the paint abount an inch or so deep whlie the jar is about a 1/4 inch or so from the bottom of the air brush. Anyway it simply heat and apply the color, for the belly and body color I have my compressor regulator at about 6psi, this setting gives me a good spray that lets me color without getting the paint to thick, for the black back which you can't see, sorry again, I turn it down to about 3 psi and that lets me keep the paint in a small area and still give me good coverage, this setting is dangerous as you could actually apply the paint to thick so be careful with that. For the orange throat/belly I turn it down to 1psi, that will let me get close up to avoid overspray, if you see the top head, that is how it works, the bottom head is when you try to add it using the 3 psi, it ends up down the length of the head. The stripes are the best part, they aren't powder, they were made with the quick coat lure markers, these are actual paint and not a sharpie, and what is nice is they come with different tips to allow you to customise the thickness, for those I just used the normal point. What is great besides the part that the markers are actual paint that you have to shake like a rattle can, and it sounds the same too, is that I added the stripes and then baked it, what happens is it goes right in to the powder and you'd never know it isn't powder as everything is completely blended together and it won't rub or wash off, instead it will chip off just like the powder as I tried it out when I first got them, a wonderful product and much better than just a sharpie but they don't work on hair...lol!!!
