Location: Black Creek, WI | I have some Bulldawgs that I'd like to paint. Can I use regular spray paint to put a scale pattern on them.... or do I need special paint? |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | JLo - You have two options, one is basically a solvent with pigment and needs to be used in a very well ventilated area (should probably use a rebreather too):

The other is water based but unlike the above requires a clear coat over to be permanent. http://www.ispikeit.com/Store/c-97-colure-coat2o-water-based-soft-p...
Super nice people at Spike-It and they will spend all the time you need on the phone talking about their products.
If scale pattern doesn't have to be pretty you can achieve similar with a sponge that can look pretty cool. Changing the color of tails or belly colors can be done with a paintbrush. |

Location: Black Creek, WI | Thanks Will. Good options, but they seem a little complicated for what I'm looking to do. I've been using the SpikeIt Worm and Chunk paint... but the end result looks like a 4 year old painted the bait :-) As much as I love tinkering with lures, I may need professional help with this project. Are there any resources out there that will custom paint soft plastics (Bulldawgs) upon request? |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Correct, the worm chunk paint is not going to do what you need. I believe Boggs will do anything you want. Jason Cheney, before moving to Alabama did some custom painting you can probably track him down on FB. |
