After seeing Robs repainted genereic trout, i decided that i wanted to paint my own bait and make it look gooood. so, i bought a beat up slammer and repainted it.

Then i painted the whole thing white first

I put the green on, a darker one i mixed using more blue and a hint of yellow. I added white and blended in a lighter green without a defining line if you can notice it.

I then added a darker pink, using red and adding white. i didnt want it to look like it was painted so i stiffled it in, dabbing with a really dry brush with separated bristles. Right after, i added a layer of even lighter pink under it, attempting to blend it

Finally, added the spots with a sharpie and the finished product

The whole process was VERY fun so if anyone wants me to paint a plug or sell me one that doesnt have much paint left, let me know!
