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.

You can use Golden HiFlow paints right out of the bottle. 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.

I've always used Createx Auto Air paints with good success. As far as eyes, check out lurepartsonline.com, they have a bunch of different options.

I used testors aztek paints right out of the bottle, but I cant find them any more. Just started using the Createx line of paints and I find you can spray them out of the bottle, with the exception of black and white for myself. They seemed to need a tiny bit of thinning.
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.

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).
