Larry you might have to PM him some crankbait pics so he can claim he painted them. LOL
DD-I swear I think your problem is that you're not using enough pressure. On the black knob on the regulator, pull the knob up and then turn it clockwise until your pressure guage says 35, then push the black knob back down.
There's not alot of lilght in the room I have it in and I have enough pressure. Actually to much. Pushing 40 PSI but when I push the button, It goes down to about 25 or so. Had to break out the flash lilght to see exactly what it was putting out. The other day when it wouldn't come out. I put the airbrush in water and let it soak over night. Guess that cleared it up cause after abit of cleaning last night, it worked fine!!!!! I already had 5 with the bills taped up and hooks off so I got 2 coats of white on them, then let them dry, then got a good coat of Yeller on them before I went to bed. Fixing to download a couple pics I took this morning before I left the house. I'm not going to rush it this time, wanna see what I can do with them
I took this morning. They're about 50% complete and I won;t have a chance til Friday to work on them again
There you go! I knew you'd figger it out.
Nice.. Glad you got it up and running...
yep, time is what you have to take, hurry up and get it done will always screw me up :)
You so right Maachu. Done it the fast way 3 times so far and it ain't worked yet. I painted them all yeller on the bottom but gonna paint them at an angle from front to back in different colors, then add a few decorations LOL
I can't wait to see the finished products. How much do you charge for painting cranks?
LOL, I hear ya Scott. How bout $10 each? That's a fair price since I spent well, the wifey spent over $200 for the airbrush and compressor, then another $60 for the workstation
Glad you got it going Don.....Most of the time I used laquer paints with mine , but even when I used water based paints after initial clean up with water, I still ran laquer thinner threw the air brush for final cleaning...the laquer thinner works good when you tear the brush down for major cleaning also. Just do not put any plastic or rubber parts in the laquer thinner to soak....it will eat them up. You can get a gallon of laquer thinner at most any auto parts store....it comes in two grades good, and cheap....I used the cheaper one.
So, if all of you gewbers think that "the brighter the bait, the better", why tape the bills? Seems to me like more real estate to paint
Hmmm, so you been workin' in the dark....You know, that explains a lot of things. Doesn't excuse it, but does explain.
Wannabe...
sounds logical, the Worden's fatfish have painted and not painted bills, so why not, ahhhhh go ahead and "do it" DD :) Scott has painted some complete with bills painted, I have not tried that yet. Bn working on the chinese stuff I have and building my 200's collection, since the chinese have what looks to be the same size bill and the bandit 200Quote:

Painting the bills also makes the bait look a lot larger to the fish.....so you migh have smaller crappie not as interested in it.....or at times it may even spook larger crappie......just thinking out loud here.
I'm gonna paint SOME but not all Red. Sometimes they want a bigger profile bait and sometimes they don;t
ya'll keep on painting...I am making my hiest plans right now. WB and I are working on a good plan, by the time prime cranking is here ya'll won't have a bait in the box.
