Powder painting today

I went fishing this morning with my dad and caught 25, so I came home motivated. So, I broke out everything and painted 90 jigs all 1/16, some #2 hooks, some #4. Also, mixed a little powder to create my own green. Plus, tried my hand at some two color jig heads.

As always, comments/suggestions appreciated.

I like the pink with black. Gonna have to get me some black and so some combos with it.

Something to try that I just did. I did the first coat with the heated jig in yellow. Then I let it cool and dipped it cool in orange. Then I took my finger and wiped away eye spots and heated it again to set the orange. When I baked it I had instant eyes. The color was a little off but it worked.

Will see if I can find it to show how it looks.

Nice job,I like how the sprinkles turned out,especially the pink with black sprinkles.

Man fishing first then painting to get ready for more makes for a great day.

Great job - the mixed green -looks good

Thanks guys. I'm kinda partial to the pink with black. Also the new green looks killer in person. It's got a pearl/metallic look to it. The picture doesn't do the color justice. Now if the crappie like it half as much as I do, there will be some good fishing in my future.

try orange and yellow i call it fire on ice. Use it ice fishing of course ;)

I painted 50 more jigs today. Most were with a collar and barb for using with plastic tube jigs. However I did paint some in gray, which I mixed myself. I've just about decided that you can create some really nice looking colors if you mix your own AND YOU USE WHITE PEARL. Here's the results.

I really like the pink and black.

The pink and blacks where easy. First I headed the head, swished it in the pink, and then immediately sprinkled the black on. Then I baked them for 20 minutes @ 325.
