For those of you who build and/or paint crankbaits, this is something I just tried, and it worked.
I added some of my soft plastic violet hilite to some Createx transparent base, and shot it over a jerkbait repaint with my .035 Iwata airbrush. It shot perfectly, and, through multiple coats, I was able to get a really need effect that shows at some angles, but not at others.
I'm sure other hilite powders will work, too.

Re: Add flash to a hardbait
It is easy to do. Just keep adding coats, dried in between, until you get the effect you want. I thought about adding more hi lite to the bottle to make it more pronounced, but decided having the option to do lighter coats was a better choice for me.Gone Phishin wrote:Looks great man!
