Tpreston Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) Hey y’all, I’ve recently bought a beginner airbrush kit and a couple blanks to try and paint up. I’m lookin for recommendations on what paint to use and also some guidance on how to go about putting a light layer of clear coat. I’ve seen some videos from allumilite demonstrating the uv resin but I don’t really wanna spend more money on a uv light set up or bait spinner, etc. I also don’t want a super thick resin gloss coat. Just a simple light clear as I’m not worried about rashing it up. What’s the best method to achieve this? And what are y’all’s favorite paints? Thanks SU Edited March 22 by Tpreston Spelling KalebShephard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomlurker Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 If you don’t want to build a bait spinner, Spray max 2k for the clear. Good stuff. Tpreston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomlurker Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Yeah. It needs to be activated before you use it. Once you do, I think it has a 48 hour usage window. Someone on here said to put it in the freezer to extend the lifespan which I’ve done and didn’t seem to have any issues spraying a couple more baits over a couple weeks. The ideal scenario would be to have multiple baits ready for clear before using though. I’ve been using the Createx Wicked line of paints for my baits with good results.

I work at an automotive shop with exhaust fans and big overhead fans/ wall fans etc. I was planning to do the clear at. also have the full face 3m respirator and some new filters for it. Hoping this is good enough. I’m not really gonna be doing any real volume just painting a couple blanks every once in a while for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxd12 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Quick easy clear coat option... Clear finger nail polish. It can be heavy depending on type used Tpreston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeyerLureCo Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 KBS Diamond Clear finish. I like using this for clear coats and just doing a dip. Jen (paints Bucca baits) has a video on YouTube with some tips on how to use it. Tpreston and Jonnybass64 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
