dude, the way photo finishing has come along in the refinishing of fishing lures, its gonna put us custom painting guys out of business.....those are phenominal.  all we'll be doing with an airbrush is adding chartreuse where we want it, lol

Thanks guys!!

A lot more time goes into photo finishing, than normal painting. I think that is why a lot of custom painters don't mess with them. It takes getting your blending right to make them come to life. The closer you match the hatch with your blending, they look truly lifelike baitfish.

Do you charge to do those finishes or is it just your hobby?

Those look great !! I would love to try a few of those out.  Do you sell or just for personal use only ?  You did a good job on those..
