Bobcat nose paint schedule

Submitted by Scooter on 3/12/05 at 10:55 PM. ( ) 139.55.225.249

I have a white repo nose on a bobcat and want to know if any one could give any suggestions on a paint schedule? I use mostly hydromist but also use some polytranspar!I tried whitetail ear medium on the last one and blended it with mars red, but it still did'nt look just right!

It took me a long time to find a paint schedule I was happy with. I`ve tried the Jonas cat nose paints for bobcats and quite frankly it`s nowhere close to being correct for bobcats in my opinion. Way too much orange in it...I first paint the entire nose black, then I mix burnt seinna and flesh together...about 1 drop of burnt sienna to 4 drops of flesh(lifetone paints)...on darker colored cats I add more sieena...

The mix that I use is 35 drops of flesh, 8 perch orange, 2 gill red, 4 white, and 1-2 dark brown, and adjust for individual cats.
