I've been mixing and blending all kinds of goodies with Do-It's line of Powder paint and the glitters shown in the bottles on the vinyl paint page of the catalog. All have been shown on site here recently except the two colors on the bottom right. That blue color is actually Candy Purple paint with the blue glitter and is one I call Almost Blue. In the hand the color is blue in one light or angle and purple in another, hence the name. The lower jigs are Candy Raspberry that has both red and blue glitter laced in it. This is a great color, one that I have been using since mid summer this year and have been super happy with. Like the Almost Blue, the Raspberry has proven itself to be a very versatile color in all water colors and types. I use these two ten times as much as any other of the colors but friends who fish with me certainly find favor in yellow and blue. The orange and green are new to me as are the gold, silver, red and green glitters.
I'm off to the lake a couple blocks away to toss some plastics on a new head design I found and have painted up in the Raspberry and Almost blue. There's an open pocket of water right up next to the dam that holds a lot of crappies and bass at this time of the year and as long as we are sitting at 24 degrees right now I'm doing it....feels like a heat wave right now outside.
These Candy colors go right over bare lead and need no undercoat of any sort to be beautiful paints. Because they are crystal clear they take to glitter super easy as long as the glitter is very fine. The glitter Do-It sells in partner with the vinyl paints works in the candy colors in fine fashion. If you want to make some eye popping heads, try this Candy color stuff and throw in some glitter.
