| Hey, looking for where guys score the taxidermy 3D eyes at a reasonable price, probably looking around 20mm...also for paints, I don’t want to use a reducer. Any recommendation for paints for a Iwata airbrush that are good to go out of the bottle?. I haven’t airbrushed in many years..wondering what some of you guys use. Lots of nice looking baits in here. Also preferred primer? Devcon 2T epoxy to finish. |

Location: Moses Lake, WA | You can use Golden HiFlow paints right out of the bottle. They also "age" better than Createx and AutoAir paints but aren't available in some of the more exotic colors. I don't use taxidermy eyes - way too expensive, just glass cabochons with a bit of paint and glitter. |

| I've always used Createx Auto Air paints with good success. As far as eyes, check out lurepartsonline.com, they have a bunch of different options. |

| I used testors aztek paints right out of the bottle, but I cant find them any more. Just started using the Createx line of paints and I find you can spray them out of the bottle, with the exception of black and white for myself. They seemed to need a tiny bit of thinning.
As far as lure eyes, I ordered from http://lisaandedseyes.ipage.com/lure_eyes.htm. Not sure if they have a 20mm eye, but they probably could make them. I was happy with my order from the. |
