if you consider a DT costs about 7 to 9 in original color, you should buy all you can get of these paint jobs for 9.
the only way to get them for less is pick them up in the sale bin and DIY.
i know there are some good painters around here, but i dont know if they bother to tell you how much work it is to paint a rapala. as far as i remember Jason once told me he strips off the original paint before putting on new one. for this alone i would charge you $5 each. thats a lot of work and you have to be careful not to damage the body doing this.
as you already mentioned, the real good paint jobs go for a lot of money, and there seems to be all right for them.

There exist factory repaints also. H13's called Michigan Husky's. In Michigan they didn't like H13 original colors, and they did send those to Finland for repaint.Those were made in Vaaksy.H13's with "Bomberlike" colors.

I have heard of those H 13 . Im not 100 % sure , but I dont think any of those I have are Rapala Repaints except maybe 3 of the CD Magnums I have . When I purchased those I was told they were custom ordered for a French supplier . The rest I have , I beleive are straight from the Rapala paint dept .

I wasn't going to say anything about your browns. I was going to say that the second picture of all those floaters look like awesome trout lures.....almost like they copied the colors off of some hot trolling spoons.

I didn't mean your lures,just mentioned repaints generally speaking.I don't recognize single one repaint in your collection. And I do know those French Magnums.Ordered by French supplier as you said, and painted in Vaaksy. So genuine Rapala's than Rapala's can be

My Customs are done by a guy called John Latham....he does work for many pros .....his work sells from Washington State for Salmon ( Wiggle Warts), to localy here in Michigan for Walleye......Here he Charges $8.00 for his lures....the Rapalas are new then he repaints them and or also sends them out to be Chromed then painted over that!

At last . I am pretty much done with the exception of a few things . Yesterday I also put on around 50 or so new lures Ive recieved the last couple days . Some CD's , CDJ's , Magnums , DD 90's , H13's , SSR 14's , RFR's and few other misc lure's . I'll post little note's as time goes by and as I add stuff to the pile . If any one has any comments good or bad let me no , or if I have mis-spelled or put wrong color code on a lure . Just let me no . The last couple days I started getting real sick of putting them all on . So im sure there is a few screw up's in there . picasaweb.google.com/JasonsRapalas
