to get just the right color that you want for your jig heads, it does work. And it dont have to be the same brand name of paint to do it.
I have mixed both Janns and Pro Tect together with good results.

I tried it and it worked but if you look real close you can see the different colors. Actually kind of neat looking. I mixed flame, Chart, and yellow. Turned out really good, don't think they ever caught anything, but looked almost like a funky marble or something.
Yes I did put some of this color in my Green paint.

I've mixed colors several times. I wanted an olive so I mixed pumpkin brown and green chartreuse. It looks pretty good, but if you look close you can make the 2 colors out. You can lighten colors with white, too.
The technique works quite well. I have done it with good results.
And now i see that you guys have been keeping this a Secret all the time.
WHATS UP WITH THAT !!! and i thought we was all buds on here.
Now that's funny! I do not believe anyone ever asked the question in that particular way before. Anyway, that is an old method that has been around a while. Some folk stumble on it by accident. Others look at jig catalogs and try and figure a way to imitate something.Quote:
