[cool][#0000ff]Here ya go.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]1. Undercoat bare lead with white vinyl. White powder paint will work okay too. Use light wire Christmas tree ornaments to hang drying lures on a wire rack between steps.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. Use dark green paint (mix of bright green with a few drops of black) to paint line on back. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]3. Use same dark green paint and thin brush to make vertical bars along sides.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]4. Use same thin brush to apply two short thin strips of orange paint on the belly (simulates perch fins).[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]5. Mix fine chartreuse or yellow glitter in clear vinyl and apply a thin "highlight coat" over all surfaces of the lure.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]6. Use the round end of a small stick (or nail) to apply a dot of yellow chartreuse paint on each side of the "head"...as the base for an eye.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]7. Use a fine pointed nail or stick to carefully apply a small black dot (pupil) in the middle of each eye.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]8. Add depth and luster by applying a generous coat of clear vinyl over the entire lure. After allowing to dry at least two hours...or longer in cooler weather...apply a thin coat of 2 part epoxy for added gloss and strength to the finish.[/#0000ff]
