Does anyone make this? Looking for that very light darkness. Almost like a fade.

I don't make a straight Black Pearl but I have made "Hot Pistol", a Smoke with some Lumina Black (pearl powder).

Do you have a pic. Want to see what black pearl looks like.

Found your old post with Hot Pistol but picture did not show up. I looked in photos and it's not there either or I missed it.

Just went back to it, also. Pic doesn't show. No telling. I saw that pic a little while back on Google. I don't have those pics anymore.

A lot of old posts with links to pics still have the old forum address. If that's the case changing the address from caneycreekmolds.net to custombaits.com works in most cases if the pic is still hosted in the gallery here.

Thank You der, Mr. Nick! Found it way back in the Gallery...

Awesome. That's what I'm looking for to make the top of my swim baits a little dark. Also the cross cut tail would be a strong candidate for this also. Where did you get the black pearl?

I just put my first carrot shoot in the gallery "Plate of Carrots with a Side order of Frys"
which may be of interest to you

Pretty nifty pile of goodies in that picture too!

Just add a few drops of black then pearl powder to taste. Seems easier to tweak and make yours unique that way

I was going to say about the same thing J. Make a medium smoke and pearl it a little at a time until you get what you want, just don't add any flake until you have the pearl where you want it. Adding flake when attempting to achieve a particular color is nothing but a distraction unless the flake goes in last. The flake in BKJ smoke in the picture looks to be .040.

And Gary, this is a beautiful smoke! Good job on it.

Thanks ctom

Wanted to start a thread with that PIC attachment on my first carrot shoot,
but couldn't find that option, not sure why,

so managed to put it in the Gallery.

Sorry for the Hi Jack Carl
