multi colored powder painted jigs

The brush technique is using an artist brush (or your preference), dipping it into fluffed up powder paint, and applying it over a heated jig at different axis (primarily sides, top, and bottom). My heat source is a variable temperature heat gun.

“is the fancy painting for the fish or the fisherman?” Neither, I do it for me because it’s something challenging to do and the only reason the pics are posted here is to demonstrate that there are alternative painting methods to use with PP.

I am confused with the term “fancy painting” - I think it’s more about shades than color. What the pics don’t show is the holographic glitters mixed in with the paints or the translucent overlays on the darker upper shades. Not necessarily “fancy painting” but adding more attractants to the lure. It’s pretty much the same reason why all the different body materials, different reacting tail materials are used for the jig. If it’s done for the body – why not for the head?

These jigs were made to blend in with plastic swimbaits. Except the bass pattern – somebody wanted to know if it could be done.
