I thoroughly test the proto-types before I make up a bunch. The protos don't get paint. Well, they get a coat of primer and a line down the back from a sharpie so I can better see the action, but no fancy paint jobs. After I've gotten the action down, I'll make a template, and turn a few. Those are tested before paint. After that, usually just go ahead and paint without testing. I'll test cast them a few times before fishing them in case they need some final tweaking.
