    What paint do you use?

    What paint are you guys using to airbrush with? I went to Hobby Lobby and there is a million kinds. Are you guys using the actual airbrush paint or just the cheap acrylic water based hobby lobby brand paint? I am wanting to get into painting baits and just wondering what paint to use? Also what clear to finish with? Thanks guys

    createx brands work the best its ready to spray the others you will have to thin down

    devcon 2 ton epoxy 30min imo is the easiest to use just brush it on

    Howdy from a fellow Tennessean. For casual bait painting, the Createx works fine. Just be sure to heat set it well with a hair dryer fairly often. Most trouble people have with it comes from not heat setting. Reminds me, I have a ton of this stuff that I bought and never used.

    Createx, but I'm starting to stray away from it and going to try others

    I use mostly laquer based paints, some water based, createx & other's. Just be sure you wear a good respirator, especially if spraying laquers.
