What would you like to see

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.

Thumbs up

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

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.
