Not sure whether you'll catch too much with it, but I reckon the people with their mouths open as you drive past might catch a fly or two :lol:

Not really up on fishing and it was one of the colourful ones that caught my eye in a Google image search... did you have a particular one in mind?

You said mild or wild... and you're also the one who said something about getting the girlfriend to use her anatomy on the paint job....

Why not just put her right on the front. Not quite sure how you finish the paint on the sides. And it might not be too safe to tow.... you wouldn't be able to keep your eyes off the rearview mirror. :laughter:

Thanks for all the ideas and pics. What program are you using ? Paintshop pro??? Some may have noticed my crooked window, Did'nt measure twice, just cut once, wrong, out 1/2" . I'll definately have to fix that, its really bugging me. Could'nt use Dalmations spots as my dog was a Harlaquin Great Dane. Could do it with dane spots tho. Oh no, now where back with Skooby Doo, and I know Shag will want the "oak Leaf" design also. Was looking at some rainbow trout lures. Now that would be a cool paint job. Don't know if I could pull off the effect tho. But willing to try. Would have went with the boob paint job, but would have to get Granny to hit the low areas, and don't think she would go for that.

Avoid the paint job and have it printed onto vinyl... then spend a day applying the vinyl, live with it for a few weeks and if you decide its a poo idea at a later date you can remove it easily... if you like it, you can keep it for a couple of years while you practise painting 8)

I tend to agree. The lure could look real nice.

Check out the different designs on the Rapala Lures, especially the Shad Rap.

Just my opinion.

What I know about fishing can be written in huge capital letters on the back of a postage stamp :oops:

Any of these designs take your fancy?

Can recreate them for your TD if you like?
