Read through the some of the Paint Recipe thread. I have some HF Black and HF Yellow, so I mixed up some Watermelon and some Pumpkin. I did a test on some jigheads. The two upper-right jigs are the Pumpkin. Now I need to work on glitter. I have a big multi-color pack, just need to either add some of these colors, or do a Clear/Glitter mix.

I'm planning on using some natural colors for these jigs. They're going to my buddy that's headed up to Canada. He likes "camo" colored jigs for Smallies.

those colors absorb glitter, you will be better mixing the glitter into clear then topcoating.

Looks good, you are jumping in with both feet now and your powder paint collection will grow. haha! I have a mix similar to that as well. To get a hair more contrast out of that camo look, you could use some black glitter/flake to give it a mottled look. I'd 2nd the glitter/clear separate mixing as Kdog mentioned. I feel it does show up much better than trying to mix glitter in with opaque colors.
