    Default Mixing regular and metallic PP


    I was thinking about trying this but wanted to ask before because of the multiple flaws and problems I can think of without trying very hard.

    Can you mix a solid color powder paint and a metalic like copper or silver and have both colors show on the same jig head? Maybe in a marbling pattern or at least a spotting pattern?

    I did mix green and yellow once and got a speckled pattern on every jig head so I figured I would ask about metallics.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    I did put some blue over silver on one or two. I was hoping that it would show better, but I have not tried them at all yet, have not even tied one yet.

    You for sure have to watch out putting candy over candy colors because since they are transparent it changes the color. I put some candy blue over yellow and it turned it green and that was not want I wanted it to do.

    I have done some silver and copper over colors and visa versa with mixed results. But what effects might one see if you actually mix them? Like 50:50 together and then dip the jig heads in them.
