Do you know of a type of paint that has the glitter ground fine enough to shoot through a .3mm tip?
You should be able to shoot any kind of silver or chrome laquer through your airbrush, as long as it is thinned down like an airbrush paint should be. I have a renegade with a .21 tip, and it works fine if it is thinned and retarded properly. I have a big airbrush project to do next week. I'll paint a few samples just for kicks and take a pic of them in the sunlight. I have some pretty wild candy and iridescent paints.

If you want bigger flakes, you could just dry dust them on and then seal them down, or make a "paste" with some kind of solvent and paint them on with a brush. Then just let the solvent evaporate and then seal or paint candy over them.

It would be easy to put glitter on top of the paint also, by just sprinkling it on your first clearcoat before it dries. Then clear over the top again just to make it smooth.

Either way, you will be making a very unique and cool bait... One with details that manufacturers will not put in the time or expense to mass produce.
