dampeoples Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 It looks similar to the vein colors at Columbia Coatings, but i'm not 100% sure that's powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish devil Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 the base coat is black powder paint. The purple is not special paint, I use an acrylic paint on top of the powder paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Fish devil That is a fine looking jig. How do you apply the acrylic and are you clear coating afterwards? If you don't mind giving up your secrets. Thanks Sterling. I'll check out Columbia Coatings for their finishes. Just looking for something besides plain colors.

Thank you, I do clear coat them but remember lead is soft and no matter what jigs will chip in time. I can't give all my secrets away.

Ogajiga Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 You can get interesting flash effects by mixing "Crystallina" fine glitter from Hagen's into a clear liquid top coat over a solid color base coat. Crystallina is semi-transparent so it wont appear too peppery over a light color base. For some reason different colors of Crystallina mixed together flash separately depending on viewing angle making for some interesting color shift effects.

Ogajiga Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Correction: The color shift is mostly because Crystallina reflects the opposite color it refracts, so the glitter needs direct sunlight for max effect. Still, a different kind of flash from regular metallic flash glitter even in lower light. I think Lure Craft might have a finer pearl version of this color shift material.
