Painted these up yesterday and was pretty pleased at the way they turned out.

All 3 colors, yellow, green, and orange are Pro Tec powder Super Glow on 1/32 oz. heads.
I painted some other colors that I liked but the pics didn't turn out so well, I'll try to get some pics of them out in the sun light today and see if I can get the colors I want to show in the pics.
Those look real good. Firetiger has done well for me in the past. Have to try some when I get my more of my colors together.
Good job.
the look great. wished mine would turn out llike that
Nice tigers. I paint them as well and my favorite combination for the tigers are ff46's golden shiner as a basecoat with candy orange for the belly and sapphire blue for the top which actually turns a shade of green after you start use the golden shiner for a basecoat. I havn't used it for crappie yet but sauger and walleye like the combo.
I used fluorescent chartreuse for the base coat and 2 coats of super glow yellow. I cured the base coat and the second coat of yellow, then applied the green and orange and cured again. These jigs have 3 full coats of paint plus the orange and green.Quote:

I have not even tried the multi-color paint jobs yet, but figure they would be a bit much for commercial purposes. I have been thinking of how it would be or if there is an easy way to do eyes with powder paint, but the problem I find is how to control that small amount of paint. So far I stick with my drill bits and either Acrylic or vinyl and mostly use the vinyl on my Roadrunners since it is a single color.
Also man you got 3 coats of paint there, it would take a pretty long time just in painting and curing them.
However in the end they look really nice!

excellent paint job I will take 1000. :DThe same here on painting eyes as Skip does we also used vinyl paint to do that.
Thanks Skip!Quote:

I'll start production when I recieve your check for $1500 SR.;)Quote:

Here's a few Wobble jigs I did in the Firetiger pattern, same as the above with 3 full coats of paint and then the orange and green.
These are 1/8 and 1/16 oz.

The Wobble jig has a nice vibrating action at about .8 mph, but unfortunately the smallest size I can make is 1/16.
Those are very nice, I"m still learning so all the pics and ya'lls tip are really helpful to me.
Nice looking paint job. Has anyone tried the powder water I found a while ago I haven't had the extra cash to buy it. I'll have to go back and get the post so you can all see it.
