Another path to go down, Lord help me

[skeetbum]

The wife bought me an airbrush for Christmas and I've been going thru the beginning of the learning curve. I have some blanks ordered and I guess they're on a slow boat from China. They'll eventually get here. These are some that were found lakeside after the draw down and colors that didn't produce for me, and a couple that were so gaudy the fish would have to have been addled to show any interest. ScottV from 'Sippi has been a great help to me shortening the curve and steering me in the right direction. Without his help the first ones would have been sanded out and started again. It's lots of fun and very challenging. The wife bought me the start and the rest all has dollar signs attached.......MAN! Nothing is cheap anymore. I'll be using these come post spawn. The ones that look white have a pearl silver back that washed out in the pics. The purple chartreuse has put a bunch in the boat. The epoxy is still drying so no hardware yet. The last pic has a Rebel that I just painted over and liked it, so don't think the spots are some special skill I've been hiding. Thanks for looking.....Skeet.

Now she did it, sounds like she is trying to keep you out of her hair. That will keep you busy for many hours.
Might I suggest a turning wheel while the epoxy is drying to prevent sagging.
Have fun its addactive.

Skeet,
When you start spraying irridescent colors, spray what is left in the gun on a white index card. Then on the next color spray another color over the previous color on the index card. You can come up with some sweet colors that you cant buy. I have one that changes colors in the light moving in different directions, red to a light gold to an orange. Color shifting if you will. Just be sure to write the colors down, or youll never remember what you did.
