Finally finished this remake on a rafa Shad glide I picked up off the black market. Bait was originally trout pattern and had some paint chips. 
stripped it down, sanded it, removed the eyes, resealed it, primed, painted, scaled, hand painted gold scales and cheeks and herring dot. 
for the epoxy I mixed these special automotive grade flakes along with some holo pearl into the true coat epoxy. 
stoked on how it came out. Will install the original tail and be fishing it this week as our herring ponds are still seeing fish coming in and dropping out. 
some before and after pics.
