Thanks all, I got the good camera out for these shots! Doing these jigs was far easier than I though it would be. I did a couple of spinner blades too and actually found those to be a bit more difficult. I have a few tricks I've used prior to having a spray gun for getting good clean patterns on spoons and spinner blades. Once I get some time to do some blades I'll post some pics.
Nice job. I like the candy colors the best when spaying. I like spraying the Candy Yellow for the body and then the Candy Blue for the top half. It kind of blends with a greenish tint where the two meet. SJ taught me that one. Then I like Candy Orange for the chin. You can do a lot with it and it's fun to play with. You got to get over the part about wasting some powder. It's just part of the game we play. I bought a bunch of extra jars and straws from TJ's and it sure does make it easier then cleaning them out for each color. I haven't made a spinnerbait or buzz bait with a plain head in a long time. They just don't look right anymore. Have fun and show lots of pictures.
Yep, I've had a few candy colors for jig heads for a while and love them. Really versatile and a lot of ways to work with them. I have purple, red, and blue on the way from Do-It. I really should have ordered yellow too, but that will have to wait. I'm not too worried about wasting some powder, a little goes a long way; I've had those colors from Tom for 2 years I think. Only a tablespoon or two, but powder gives good coverage. I need a vacuum booth for the over-spray! Even with a box, there is micro-glitter everywhere! It's safe to say that the apartment is looking fabulous. I'll be less concerned once I have a new house and workshop. I'll be keeping my spraying to a minimum til that happens, I'll post pics as I'm able.
Yep, them er good.
Once I have brush guards (arriving Thurs along with a bunch of other supplies; thanks for the quick turnaround as always!) and eyes on 'em I'll post a couple more pics. Feel free to share them as you see fit.
Nice job. I've been eyeballing a powder paint gun myself.
I'd been wanting one for about a year. It's a pretty cheap investment and totally worth it. Luckily I had a suitable air pump on hand from my aquarium hobby.
