Very effective! Is that a lace stencil pattern or crackle paint?

Hi !
It’s this “glitter” lace stuff I found. Seemed like it might be cool to spray through. :) |

You asked for suggestions , I would ditch the pink on the tail to "ME". Its the wrong intensity try misting down a little white down before the pink it will brighten up the pink if it's your thing. With the red , try thinning it a little more and drop air pressure it will make the blending a little nicer with less speckling. While you had the chance the I would have sanded down parting line on the lure body. Love the lace work pattern looks like crackle paint and because of that I would have put more of that on display on the back . Nice stripes really well blended along the edges and the clear coat is about 3 coats is it. Working with sparkles can be a pain and never show up well in pictures but well done !. I would buy one .
