2022 Lab Work

Figured it was time to kill the 2021 thread and start a 2022 one.

1st jig heads this year are:

1/16oz freestyle w/size 6 Mustad 2x Ultra Points.

Color combos are:

Pink base coat with candy pink top coat and blue eyes, candy orange with lime green eyes, clear coat over unpainted head with green eyes and disco silver with candy orange pinched on top with green eyes. Really like the pop the candy pink gives the pink head. My pinks will start to be this way.

Great looking paint jobs and eyes!

Those look really good DrNip!!! I need more candy colors now after seeing this. Especially blue, been wanting that one since your last post using it.

Yep, I love the transparent blue and just painted some for a neighbor.

I need a lot more candy colors too. I was asleep behind the wheel on them for years. That blue candy on top of disco silver you’re referring to is one of my favorites.

POP is the perfect word. Amazing looking jigs sir!

Very nice. I have come to expect these things from you. I think the time is right for you to start selling again.

very nice work

Thank ya guys.

Attachment 415910 Here is Transparent Candy Blue, The bottom one is single coat, middle is White under blue and top is two coats. They do bring out their own distinction over the regular colors. Oh and thanks for the idea of using blades to have color samples. Pretty handy.

That’s the brightest pink head I can ever remember seeing, very nice. They all stand up and look back. I like the bare head, figures, with the green eye. I’d use that a lot.

Yeah that pink candy on top of hot pink made it so much better.

Great work dr!

My candy pink over hot pink didnt get that hot, but did make a nice difference, since hot pink really is more of a baby pink. I am a fan of the pink candy and it's applications. Also like candy blue. Looking forward to experimenting with more candy colors.

Yeah I've been kicking around the idea of getting more of those candy colors around, guess I need to go ahead and get them.

Hey Doc are you using pigments to make your candy colors or a premix from one of the suppliers. My pro-tec pinks did not pop like yours either.

Candies came from tj tackle which I believe is just protec. The pink candy has protec hot pink as under coat. Dip in hot pink and then dip in candy pink. I do plan on moving away from protec paints as they are really expensive and limited colors. Will start buying by the lb at prismatic powders.

My last order came from them and like you said they have a huge selection of colors.

Great looking stuff as always. Those eyes certainly pop

Thanks Doc. I put the candy on first and killed it with the hot pink. This old dog might just learn a new trick.

Very nice work.
