Re: making green pumpkin powder paint
You could just go buy green pumpkin but if you rather mix it I can help. The colors you need are pumpkin brown, watermelon, black, and chartreuse. Assuming these are in 2oz. jars it would be 1/2 jar of watermelon, 1/4 jar of black, 1/8 jar of pumpkin brown and try that, if it is too dark that is when you use a little chartreuse, but try just a bit and keep adding until you get it where you want it. There are others but watermelon is the base, if you don't have watermelon then you may as well go buy the green pumpkin. Go to tackle underground if you need a different mix of colors than what I gave you, the one I gave you was what a lot of trial and error accomplished because at the time I came up with it there was no dark watermelon or green pumpkin, good luck.

i probably should just buy some but i'm too stubborn and i don't make my own lures much anymore, so would like to use what i have. yellow chartreuse, red, blaze orange, silver, yellow, gold, black, green chartreuse and clear.
