two color combo's that I used

Both of these jigs were tied on a 1/32 jig and the red paint does have clear gloss added, I add clear to all my base paints. Used these in stained water.

This is the color combo that worked best,

Head - Red w/ 3D eyes
Body - chart thread
Tail - white wool with hot pink, green satin threads

Nice....what sealer are you using over the treads if any hard to tell.....

:icon14: :icon14:

X2 with Plate what's your top coat. Wondering because you have the 3D eyes, would think they'd melt with clear coat powder

I add the clear to my powder paint, not after I paint them . Gives the paint more of a shine. If I use eyes I coat the whole head and thread with Sally Henson.

Those jigs look great and what wonderful photography too. Very nice Stump. :t-up:

Thanks for the info Stump

Great job StumpHunter, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!! I too add clear to my base paint, not only does it stretch the paint out but it makes the color pop!! I had a few guys over asking how I got so much depth in to my green pumpkin, of course I never told!!

thanks stumphunter for the pics of the jigs you used!! they really look good!

I assume you are adding clear powder paint to your colored powder paint. Would you share the ratio you are using? Thanks, Pop

Beautiful jigs, man. I'm not getting into the wool but they sure look great.

Pop has a good question....I have two fluid beds side by side. One for color then quick dip in clear coat powder and on the drying rack.

Very cool tyes. I'm guilty of mixing clear with other colors. Some paint I get is hard to work with, adding some clear seems too help. I like to use Super High Gloss from CC and the clear from PT is good (not on the cheap side) to use also.

I use the vinyl paints most the time, and adding the clear gloss vinyl to any color also makes for a better result with these paints.

I'm guilty too, been adding it in with my tough colors white, and some brown but only the Janns netcraft colors.

SH....tried Sally's clear polish and paint started to smear.....Hmmmm

What am I doing wrong

The only time I have any trouble is with chartreuse, just coat and don't worry as it will be alright. Also, all my heads are cured before coating with SH.

Great lookin jigs!:icon14::icon14:
