First for a paint list. Base coat white, purple, chart. ,orange, medium bass green, shimmering blue ,shimmering purple , shimmering gold , shimmering blue green , red , black. I used Lacquer paint. It can be bought at taxidermy .com
The shimmering colors are pearls.
First a white base coat.
Next some purple chart. and orange
Add a few medium bass green stripes shot through a comb then add some green to the back
Next I add some shimmering blue pearl over the orange. The bottom bait is before the pearl and the top is with the blue pearl. The pearls are hard to catch with a camera.
Next I add smimmering purple on the shoulders. Right bait is before the pearl left bait is after.
Next is shimmering gold scales shot through a minnow net. Top bait with scales bottom bait without.
Next a little shimmering blue green on the back. right bait before, left bait after.
Then red gills shot over tape. Spray the paint half on the tape and half off.
A black body dot.
Almost done. Just add some eyeballs and 2 part urathane clear coat.
And the last but not least the best photo I have of this color.
