Rattle can art

[New River Rat]

I had two really ugly crankbaits laying around that weren't being used. I haven't pulled the trigger on a painting system, but I spent a LOT of my youth painting bicycles and go-karts. These two were done with simple rattle cans, then covered with a two part epoxy. Didn't take a lot of pains with them, but I realized it is do-able.

This is about the size of a Fat Rap 05 or KVD 1.5. The undercoat was silver, flat black back, and some gold glitter from a can.







This is both, the one on the right is basically the same as the first pic, but with an orange undercoat.

Good looking baits

Brings back memories of when I was growing up. We'd go to the river in the middle of summer and pick baits off of the old pilings. The real bad ones we'd spray with rattle cans too. Easy to do and a lot cheaper than an airbrush setup. With practice you can actually get really good looking baits. We even tried making our own stencils cut out from a plastic bottle with an exacto knife. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Those came out great. Hard to believe they're from spray can.
