    Green chartreuse is much lighter and closer to yellow than that. Check Pro Tech powder paints for the right color if you don't want to mix.

    I've got Granny Smith green from Columbia Coatings but it's a Dormant powder that's a two part cure process and I cheated and just put the clear in with it.

    And some Redman heads too Doug. All look good. Really like the double spinner. Bet it gets mangled bad with an aggressive fish though.

    it said on package Pro Tech powder paints bright green. I was think it turn out a little brighter like the other jig. I well try the Green chartreuse next to see what I come out with.
