I am not sure what to say slip I will try to answer as best I can.
First I do use an airbrush a Iwata BCS to be accurate it was recomended to me by a friend. Second I use mainly createx auto air paints in just about every color made I am particular to pearls and metalics.
As far as technique I have no training in airbrush art and believe it or not I ain't artistic at all ( although my wife and bernzy argu that point with me regulary). After looking at live bait pics I try to paint as I see and this is a very time consuming process not all colors dry the same as they look wet. I use alot of shading which I am still learning my early stuff was two color because I would use too much color, I am learning all the time and experimenting for every plug you guys see there are about 5-6 laying around that I didn't like or didn't look the way I want them to look. I hope this is helpfull remember I am new at all this and every day is another lesson to learn and I am always interested in learning and trying new things. I have to give most of the credit to bernzy and a very good friend of mine who is an airbrush artist for al their help with shading color selection and general info.
Again I hope this is helpful and thanks again for all the compliments
