I use createx mainly and some hobby craft paints they need to be thinned quite a bit but you can get a lot more color variety.

Fish Hard,Tight Lines!!!

i only use spray paints, even my scale jobs.

I used to do graffiti as a teen, so pretty good with the spray can

I use the Createx, mainly because its readily available. The pearls sometimes give me grief because the tend to clog but the other colors work well.

So it's because of you they switched the spray can nozzles?

Same here, but I did pick up a can of hammered brown for my eelies just for kicks. Plus, the hammered paint helps hide all the surface imperfections on the wood if you do minimal sanding.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
