    Good for you Skeet! I have fought off the idea of starting that, but I did buy an airbrush to try vinyl paint. That stuff is so very hard to do that I just put the airbrush away, LOL! Vinyl is tough, but it spider webs so bad and strings of paint all over the place, LOL. I did think about using different paint, but decided I didn't want to get way off into anything else, tying was more than I could handle anyway. Maybe since I Have finally slowed this train down, I get that thing back out, but I am thinking no right now.

    good for you and know you will do well with this!

    My blanks, in 2 styles, hooks, and a few other goodies came today so they now all have hardware. I've watched a few youtube videos and already figured on about another 10 paint colors I want. I'm so dumb.

    What kind of paint are you using. I have a air brush set up that I use for another hobby/addiction... and some crankbaits that need to be repainted

    Looking very good skeet. Nice color combos and very good job on the air-brushing. Another hobby that will pull you into a deep hole but a fun hobby also. They make some nice small paint booths that are under 100 that work well for air control and doesn't have to be vented outside. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

    Thanks everyone. Gotoeat, they are createx paints. Look in Janns netcraft, you wont find better prices. There are some things to learn, and I stumble along having fun on the way. I paint in front of a window with a double fan pulling the air out that I use when I pour heads. I'm working on a turner now to keep the sags out of the epoxy, microwave motor that I hope will do the trick.
