How long did it take you to master the process? It took me a solid 2 years of non-stop practicing day in and day out to get to a point where I feel like I have it totally locked down. I can almost paint these things in my sleep these days.
What type of airbrush do you use? I use an Iwata Revolution for now.
What type of paints do you use? I have a mix of Createx, Wicked Colors and Aztec paints. Wickeds so far are my favorites.
Do you use any other painting materials other than an airbrush to paint your baits? Absolutely. I have hair brushes, paint pens, sharpies, pencils, Q-tips, random things laying around the house. To an artist anything can be used for anything!
What do you use to seal a completed lure? How many coats? I use a low-voc high gloss clear coat. 2 coats is usually sufficient.
