I used the search option and came up with nothing, so forgive me if I am bringing up an old topic.

Does anyone know [exactly] what product is good for painting soft plastics.  Everything I use flakes off.  I need something that can be airbrushed on preferably. 

Thanks

I think he means that the paint sticks so well to the soft plastic that you would have to actually cut the soft plastic bait to remove the color from the bait.

Tackle did i read that correctly?

Location: Land of the Musky		Yes, the paint does not only stick, I think it bonds with the plastisol. Good stuff! You can paint it on or mix it and spray it with an air brush too.
