tried a template but just didnt work for me.Scott, I painted the black and the dried it and then went back and shot white on the eyes and dried and painted the eyes the color of the tail and dried and then turned my air brush way dont on pressure and worked around the eyes with the black covering any over spray created by the white. Time consuming, so I wont be doing many of these :) here are the results :

Those are great maachuu......your gonna fool around and Bandit is going to hire you to paint theirs.
Those look great Larry. They look better than the Rebel ones. That does look like a lot of work.
somewhat time consuming but I like the look of the eyes being same color as the tail, dont know what the fish think and that is really what matters :) I hadnt painted any cranks in 2 tone using the Createx Flo Red until these 2. I think I like the color, gonna do me a few with the Flo Orange next. After seeing you wear the crappie out with your 2 tone combos, I just thought I might wanna try a few up here at Pickwick and see what happensQuote:

Those look great! You two are going to make me buy an air brush.
You need to, it's lots of fun and you wind up with lots of good ammo.Quote:

I do the freehand, tried tape and template but I need another hand to do the template :)
Wow thats amazing. Those look better than most store bought cranks
Those look awesome, how do you get such a perfectly round eye ball with such clean edges...
maachuu, you mean I can't send about 50 spares I have to you to get done like that?
EZ that is done with a Qtip on these and on the ones where 2 colors (white and black) is used, I use a nail, or sharpie or something like that, just dip the end of the sharpie or Qtip in the paint and dab it on :)Quote:
