When it comes to blade colors gold, silver, copper, then all the painted blades colors and later colors like black nickel and now the Trans colors (metallic colors), Some blade styles don't come in trans colors or even black nickel is there paint you can buy to make your own?

You've got a few options. The easiest one that I use, although it doesn't last long and requires re-dipping frequently:

I buy all my blades with a nickel finish, and the color them with a sharpie as needed. I keep a pack of sharpies in the boat for that purpose. Yes, it does wear off, but you can re-paint them on the boat as you go. One red, one black, both green, whatever you want. If the fish are going on nickel blades, take an alcohol wipe to them and the color comes right off.

For a quick and available solution you could swing in to an automotive or hardware store. U can get anodized rattle can colors in red,blue,or purple commonly. Different brands have different shades and translucency. If u do that though be sure to scuff,clean,primer, base coat with a metallic, than gently apply the color in multiple light coats untill you get the look your after, your call if you wanna clear coat or not.
