Title: What color is this
Post by: lclures on 04/03/16 20:24 UTC

I have a bait that's motor oil with a hint of a green tint look but when you roll the bait in your hand it's like the green tint shows along the edge. Does anyone know how you get this effect?

It sounds like a common motor oil. Motor oil can be slightly changeable when moved around in your hand. There may be some green hi lite in the plastic too that shifts as the bait is moved.

Sounds like the zoom motor oil Tom

A good way to accomplish motor oil is to mix chartreuse and purple.

No hilite in it, they make it by mixing very specific pigments and dyes to get the effect. not something you can do on your own. MF Manufacturing has a great changeable motor oil and has been the standard for sometime. I just recently picked up Spike-It's motor oil and I tossed what I had left from MF as it is a much nicer colour, it takes far less colourant to get that rich amber colour (by the time you get that colour with MF you have so much in there that the green overpowers the colour)

I would have to disagree that it cant be done on your own. Someone mentioned mixing chartreuse and purple  :D  I do almost the same but do oxblood and charteuse. Obviously the effect only works on the clearish baits.  You can see the effect here... https://www.instagram.com/p/qOxT_NE-W_/?taken-by=johnrielly

Great color for sure, but all the great old colors Bear used to sell were all sourced from Spike-It, no different than all the old non X2 CCM colours were MF colors.
