Some plugs I painted

Most are ones I restored and the first 2 are blanks that I did up.

The last two. Any advice would be appreciated. Until I get a compressor I'm stuck using Spray paint.

My advice is three fold......1.) Bend the Danny lip down a bit and adjust as needed when you get it wet! 2.) Send them to me for testing purposes.....nice work! 3.) Fish them hard...they look great!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Excellant work!

Thanks for all the compliments. The blue and black needle is actually something I'm trying out. All the bumps on it are reflective glass beads. The stuff they use on street lines to make them glow at night. We'll see how it does.

nicely done...

when you go to buy your compressor
there's no need to buy one thats stand alone
home depot usually has some great deals on
tools that come with the pancake models
such as two finish gun nailer's that come in real handy
for allot of home repair or building projects.
