Now that I know what a wake bait is, can't wait until you have some available. Another outstanding video showing the process from start to finish. Great job 👋👋👍
@@pitbullcustomlures1917 ohh well still worked out to be an awesome paint job if you ask me even with the airbrush playing up you were able to pull off something awesome
No worries at all mate. Yep, they are a airbrush ready acrylic lacquer paint by Outlaw Paints Australia. Here's a link to their website www.outlawpaints.com/
This was before when I was still a noob and was using pine. But pine is not a good wood to use.. I primarily use jelutong, camphor or western red cedar now which are much better suited
Hey Les just found your videos also looked up the webpage. Loved watching the creative process. Been trying to make some for a while now. Might have to watch more of your videos for inspiration 😃 do you finish with a clear coat on your lures?
Hey mate, thanks heaps for taking the time. Ok, awesome. I learnt from watching TH-cam videos too lol I sure do mate. I generally use alumilite uv clear or a good 2k auto clear. But if your just starting out and only doing acouple at a time, a 30min epoxy works well
@@pitbullcustomlures1917 I will have to see what The uncle uses for his finish. I know my Qantas plane cost me a lot of frustration whatever detail I had put on the finish would then destroy it making it run. It’s always been a mystery to me.. I can design, carve, prime then paint but my finish has screwed me lol
@@paullobwein1632 I seen the Qantas plane, nice job. Ive struggled a fair bit with clear coats myself.. I know alot of the older lure maker use norglass which I wouldn't mind trying out

Hate to bug you Pitbull. What type of paints did you use to paint the rat? Airbrush.
