Thank you Fatman for my new addiction, I also need to thank AttciaFish and StumpHunter as well for this. I'm now getting clear plastic jars and I'm mixing custom colors, I've done it a little bit when I couldn't find a color like green pumpkin or shad gray but this is new. I was looking at Famtman's jigs with glitter coats and he mentioned he makes his own with clear powder, I have a bunch myself but they are all protech so on a trip to Michaels I saw some glitter on sale and since I had some super gloss clear I decied to try making my own. Well that got it rolling and so I looked in the paint recipe thread on the paint shop forum and saw AtticaFish's awesome glitter green and I had everything in it so I tried it but rather than copy I wanted it a teeny bit lighter to match a soft plastic bait I use and it worked great!!! So I looked through a few pages and find this cool olive color, lighter than green pumpkin but different from watermelon, this color is going to work with a lot of different color combos but I had to try something with it so I added black onyx glitter with clear powder to it and now I have olive moss with black color. I have so many colors that I wanted to do for spinnerbaits and jigs but companies didn't make them and extra fine glitter was hard to get, at least the suff that would hold up to heat but now I have paint projects to go with tying jigs and making spinnerbaits, this looks like it may get expensive!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone on this site for posting your creations, it really does help all of us by providing inspiration and ideas along with pushing us to get even better, I'm now convinced that this site has some of the best jig tiers in the country.
