| I have some odd-colored dawgs that I want to paint completely black; I don't care about coloring the eyes. I have some baits with white bellies that I painted orange, but the color fades quickly, so I'm not sure if it's even possible to paint, say, a white bait, black. If so, what equipment/paint do I need? Thanks. |

Location: PA Angler | I’ve seen some use the paint for mixing in plastic. I’m guessing it’s an oil paint. They airbrush it on. Don’t know how long it will last. |

| $3 bottle of black rit dye. Get the water boiling with the dye in it, turn off, toss the dawg in and it soak for 15 min. Im 95% sure this will work with no issues but test it with a junk one. Oh ya, use a pot you don't care about. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I've seen dyes (in a little bottle) that you can dip twister tails into to change the color. |
