    First attempt.....What cha' think?

    Well this is actually my 4th attempt but my first that came out good. I feel pretty good since yesterday was the first time I have ever touched an airbrush. I havent given it a top coat since I still need to make a dryer. What do you guys think. The pic sucks but its the best I could get.

    Once you put the eyes and clear on it will look dyno-mite!

    The clearcoat makes the colors Pop!

    The paint will clean up off of the lip after you clearcoat it. Don't clear the lip.

    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

    As mentioned if you don't want the lip painted and cleared, try using blue painters masking tape to keep the paint off the bill.

    Remove the tape before clearing and this will allow you to take the clear right down to the edge and actually a pinch over what is painted. It is important to make sure you don't have gaps in clearing over the top of acrylic paint. Otherwise you might endup with water getting under the clear and ruining the paint job.

    And like already mentioned, nice colors and job on the painting. Your on your way!

    Looks good. I like the mat finish look, so if you can find a clear that will maintain the flat look, I think it may work better than a super shiny bait in a lot of instances . Keep up the good work.
