Eric , on average how much medium or ratio u do to thin CREATEX.? I do find the Createx black to be thick looking when sprayed. The pearl black shoots well.

For it's worth.
I gave up on epoxying my plugs years ago. I use a clear coat high gloss in a rattle can.
I don't sell my plugs, give a lot away. As Eben said, "the fish don't care". It's more about the action and color of the plug than the finish. My clear coat just protects the paint a bit. I turn nothing but AYC so I don't have issues with paint peeling or not adhering. My final sand is with 320 grit so I get a very smooth finish.
I just don't think the hassle of epoxy is worth it unless you are selling your plugs and trying to attract fishermen not fish.
