| I'm looking to get started airbrushing some baits. What brand/ type of paint works best for plastic lures? How about wood lures? Thanks |

Location: Richland Center, WI. | I have not messed with plastic baits but have painyed a few wood baits. I use a water based paint as it cleans up easy if you make a mistake. Started with some cheap paint from Walmart. I think it was called apple barrel. I now use Createx paints. The Createx seems to come out of the gun better with no thinning. I am no expert when it comes to paint but it works for me. Lots of good lure makers on this site. Should have no problem getting some help. |

| we use lacquer based for plastics. you get better bite or paint adhesion. nturally we have a dedicated paint room with blower system and respirator use. if your in enclosed enviroment water based paints are best for safety reasons. |
