That's a good start, Jamie. Yes, the devcon will give them a good gloss. I really don't know if the gloss makes that much difference. All my baits painted with acrylic paint are matt to dull before epoxy. I use blue painter's tape to tape off all my bills before I primer the blanks with opaque white. I use a scalpel to cut along the tape to bill seam to make sure I don't pull the paint/epoxy loose. I've painted a few baits and bills. Couldn't tell any difference other than it gives the bait a larger profile.

That's looks sharp. Good job.

That looks good

Looks great. I take pics of most of my new patterns so I can duplicate them after I lose all the ones I just painted.
