Creating my own wooden lures

Hi out there I have been making my own flies now for a few years and I use to and going to get back into making my own fishing poles. Now I am trying something new, I am making my own balsa wood fishng lures. I have four shaped bodies at this point all from some small cutes on a jigs saw and alot of sanding. I am very excited at what I have come up with once I get a chance I will post some pictures.
So I am asking for help this weekend I am going to set the hooks and eyes, but I am lost as to how to paint it. I am not looking for anything amazing. I just want to paint basic colors on it and coat it properly.
Does anyone have some info to share with me that might help me in my new hobby I would be grateful.
