Question Painting Help

I am looking for tips on painting mackeral patterns on some plugs. I have tried but have come up with nothing that is pleasing me. Any tips or advise would be helpful.

Go to Kay Bee toys and buy a cheapo toy inside a box with the clear plastic on the front. Give the toy to some kid and make his day...then rip the plastic out, mark it up with a fat sharpie with all squiggles....then cut it out on top of a piece of cardboard with an exacto knife. Shoot ya paint thru the mask onto ya plug. Don't use too much paint, just lightly. instant MACKERAL

What salty said. Or, take a piece of Aluminum foil and fold in half. Cut the pattern in the foil. Since you folded it over, the pattern is the same on both sides. You can also cut down the folded part so you can paint the back at the same time. When painting, center the fold on the center of the plug. You can use binder clips or a few clothes pins to keep the foil in place. Spray lightly through the mask. Instant lines or whatever pattern you want
