I'm getting ready to paint up some danny's and needlefish. What's a good basic eel paint job I can do with spray cans?

I was thinking like a tan belly, green on top and a bit of red down the side...

thanks,

Leave the red off, Spense. Actually I made a bunch of needles last year that were killers and they were all black.

All of em?

I was thinking 2 black, 2 eel on the large (4 ounce) ones, and 1/2 black/eel and 1/2 brighter colors on the smaller (2 ounce) ones.

These are the first plugs I've actually made myself and not from NJT or Salty's blanks...No Lathe!
