I do 2 in almost every case. Only time I do 1 is if it's on a bait that I think it might affect action negatively. I do one coat let sit for 48hrs them scuff pad and recoat.

Mantas always look super sweet with a custom paint. One of my favorites to repaint

Peacock bass after etex. Pictures never due justice. I have some tunin to so with this pattern but I think it's a great alternative to a perch pattern.
