Electric Chicken Powder Paint Job.

As most folks know that have worked with powder paint, if you try to put pink on top of chartreuse it will turn orange. But if anyone doesn't know, you can put chartreuse on top of pink and it will stay Chartreuse... how that works, I don't know.:rolleyes:

Jigs have a full base coat of hot pink, a second coat of glow pink, then a half coat of chartreuse and are fully cured.

You do get a small line of orange where the 2 colors meet, but it is minimal.

looks perty cool though

man thoes look good man i had found out the hard way about thoes two colors but i kinda likes the orange that i got when the 2 colors mixed

Good post. I am sure you helped someone today.

Ever tried curing your green chart base coat then pink on top?

During the winter and very early spring when the water is muddy is when they work best for me.

Caught some really nice fish on it about a month ago before the water started boiling and all the fish melted.:o

Joefish that is a good muddy or really stained water jig or at least the guy that got me tying them said he does well on that then.

GDC I imagine that is has to do with the Pink is more transparent then Chart? I don't know but that is the only thing that makes since.

What do yall mean by more transparent?

I fish alot of muddy water, guess I don't give it much of a try, I don't have much confidence in pink... I think that may be half the battle alot of the time, giving the jig it's fair shot

Got to have confidence for sure and I didn't think a lot about it until about 3 or 4 years back and I just ripped the crappie on a all pink jig.

Transparent like all the candy colors are transparent and you can just paint them over the lead head, but unless it's super shinny it will look different than when put over say silver. They are even all different if over white. If the paint on the base coat is not transparent and you put a transparent color over it the color you get will not be what you expect so the color mix. If neither is transparent they shouldn't mix and should stand alone. Anyway real basic you can see through a transparent color.

I like those, the little bit of orange between the pink and chart really pops :eek:.
