Well, for the last week I've been tearing apart the lures and doing some custom repaint. Here's the 9" Slammer in Light Green Perch, the 7" Slammmer in Rainbow Trout and the Lucky Craft Gun Fish in Yellow Perch. Keep in mind these are done with a spray can and or an artists brush. When I have the extra cake,I'll move up to an airbrush.
Your honest opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Doesnt look bad for a hand paint, have you clear coated them yet?

Yes they are clear coated. I was having problems taking pic's due to the glare. I'm also not a big fan of high gloss baits. I'm still working on getting a more uniform clear coat w/o the use of a dryer or spinner.
Try this one.......

Those look really good if you ask me. Considering these were done with a brush, I would say they look great. Keep it up, some day I will get into airbrushing too....when I have the time
 
They look like FOOD


For fish


I bet they work great - I am not a big fan of the super realistic paint jobs - i like what you have done - nice colors that the fish can see - and eat
 
Thanks guys, it's a bit tedious trying to do these w/o patterns. Picture it in my head, and then transfer to the lure. I'll be much happier once I obtain the proper equipment.
