Posts: 79 | Hey, looking for where guys score the taxidermy 3D eyes at a reasonable price, probably looking around 20mm...also for paints, I don’t want to use a reducer. Any recommendation for paints for a Iwata airbrush that are good to go out of the bottle?. I haven’t airbrushed in many years..wondering what some of you guys use. Lots of nice looking baits in here. Also preferred primer? Devcon 2T epoxy to finish. | ||

They also "age" better than Createx and AutoAir paints but aren't available in some of the more exotic colors. I don't use taxidermy eyes - way too expensive, just glass cabochons with a bit of paint and glitter. | ||

As far as lure eyes, I ordered from http://lisaandedseyes.ipage.com/lure_eyes.htm. Not sure if they have a 20mm eye, but they probably could make them. I was happy with my order from the. | ||

Posts: 100 | supertrollr - I used to get them at Michael's Craft store in Canada here, but they stopped carrying all airbrush supplies. So I just buy online off amazon now (the Createx paints). | ||
