Those are looking deadly. Great to see your painting skills evolving nicelyI ended up spraying a couple coats of silver down the back first and down 2 the shoulders. Then I squirted the Pearl Teal over the Silver. The metallic silver gives the pearl a little kick. I used iridescent purple for the face and under blue light the purple looks silver.

I had such great success with this plug that I had 2 paint a few more…. Plugs on the right side have candy sprayed over the top of the Teal that’s why they look different.
They sure give off a nice blue hue under the blue light.

Both of you are awesome Painters... Lets be realistic.. If it was just about fooling fish we would only own a couple pearl white plugs.... This is all about Bling for Us !!Thanks Chilli hopefully 1 will fool a fish
Thanks Greg, I wish you would have told me years ago would have saved a few nickels. Maybe we can slip 1 of your pearl white plugs into Dave H stocking this year so he can fool a few fish next season…Both of you are awesome Painters... Lets be realistic.. If it was just about fooling fish we would only own a couple pearl white plugs.... This is all about Bling for Us !!

BadAssBelow is a pic of the original UV Lime Ricky Plug. Never attracted a fish so it went into the re- cycle bin. The 2.0 version only needed some yellow and some metallic scale and it was game on. The 2.0 was put into action on the last 2 days of fishing season and didn’t disappoint.
Now I needed to replicate a couple more….

The 3.0 plugs belly was sprayed with Hot Rod Sparkle white with UV additive. Hot Rod sparkle is the biggest flake that createx makes and I shot it through my air brush with a .7mm tip with no problems. Then squirted equal parts fluorescent yellow and wicked yellow. I have found that this mix sprays nice and no chalky look and will not fade out as bad as straight fluorescent paint.

After the paint dried i added metallic scales and then squirted on some candy poison green. Plug at the top is the 2.0 version and is made of wood and was clear coated with just the regular createx clear and shows no major issues with the paint.

Under the light I was shocked 2 notice that the Candy did not allow the fluorescent green to penetrate through so they are left with black backs. I still think they turned out okay.
