    Like these?



    This is a base of white, then I took a small paint brush and loaded it (but dipping just the tips of the brush into the paint) with paint and I turn the jig head at an angle and tap the brush lightly and apply the silver heat it again with a heat gun check the coverage then change sides and repeat till the coverage is the way I like it. Then I dip the "chin" in either Real shrimp pink or candy red. This one has a top coat of Baitfish as well.



    Same process as above but silver base, black top, and red chin no top coat.



    White base, Gold Chub coat, black top, Real Shrimp pink chin, and Baitfish top coat.



    Base is a Perch color I mixed, black on top, and white then red chin.



    Same above but on a round head but same process.

    AZ has it right as far as the process the trick is making sure when you get the top put on this it is thick enough but thin enough that when you cure them they don't run and you lose the concentration of color. It takes a bit of practice to get feel of it and it takes extra time but without having an airbrush this is how I do it till I get an airbrush and a powder paint attachment.

    No problem, good luck with them and I hope they catch you some fish. There is 7 colors of marabou on these ones :D. I need to see how they come out on Shad heads I haven't tied up any on those heads yet.
