Hey guys I am gearing up for winter....lol I am trying to put my skills on the airbrush to good work but I am having some issues coming up with some colors or should I say the "formula" to get the desired colors I want - ones that are already used in the market ie. green pumpkin? and lavender color? So i thought i would start a thread to see how you come about mixing up certain colors.......
I am using createx paints because I heard that they are the easiest to use.

Lots of pictures and "recipes" for using standard colors. I printed them all out and keep them in a binder for future reference. Kind of nice to have a good reference on hand when painting.
Hope this helps!

Try tackleunderground.com. They are very good as well as BBC.
When it comes to color matching it is very hard to be consitant when mixing a color. One of the most important things when it comes to color is your basecoat. When using say a flourescent color you MUST use a white base. You can use a darker base to change the color. Like using a black base uncer a say purple pearl produces a totally differe.t color than with a white base. I have never been a fan of the createx paints. I mainly use ppg laquers the lay down so muchbetter . .Alsog your gun is very important. The internal mix guns will usually spray a much finr

I have been painting lures for 10 years. Im located in Richmond. I can paint anything you want as long as i have a pattern to go by. Example is "send me a bait to go by". If you have any questions please pm me with email address. Thanks

I have an iawata eclips hp, I find the createx wicked colors are hard to work with in purple, and getting a good silver is difficult over a white base coat. I have been using krylon fusion for primer.
