I am working on these Danny's while playing with the new airbrush. Looking for a nice contrast color for the top of the plug. The body is pearl white with a pinkish lateral line and turquoise just above that. Kind of like the Herring Danny with a few extra colors. After the final color going to fog with pearl white to give a 3 stage paint effect and add some scales. Alot going on for sure but looking to do something cool.

so the question is what color do you think would finish the top of the plug?


The persons color suggestion I use gets one.

fade the blue up a little higher then the top black. then some blue pearl in the clear.. it will look nice...

Nice paint SH. :kewl: Like Mike said, or maybe a real dark blue on top. :huh:

how about fading that blue into a black stipe running right down the top of the plug. THomT

OLIVE :grins:

Make a color Dark olive-black.I have a cool one I mixed up My favorite for the top of a baitfish plug.Bring it down around the eyes.That always looks good. Do a PearlSilver scale very light.Or just a over spray on top.use chamelions to help blend one color to the next.It covers up the overspray.Something like violetor the other pink tone i forget.

I am thinking you work a nice little fade of iridescent green starting really light at your horizontal lines up towards the top. :drool:

A real dark color. Dark blue faded into dark green or black.

ok, here it is. I took a navy blue and added pearl white to the mix then sprayed that on. After dry I hit is with chameleon lilac which turned it a nice purple-lilac color. I put black scales over the top of that for a nice contrast. I will look through the responses to see who came closest to the final color and shoot off one to you. Thanks for all the ideas. Hope you like.

Very nice Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Looks nice striper. I guess thats why I don't make my own plugs. I have no eye for these things!!:pop:
