txwhitetail Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have some old spoons I would like to try to paint with my airbrush...what is the best/most durable paint to put on these chrome spoons? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I don't think paint matters as much as the clearcoat and for that, Dick Nite Lurecoat polyurethane is hard to beat on spoons. I shoot acrylic colors with an airbrush, dip them in the Dick Nite and hang them up to dry. It's a nice thin coating that quickly drips off any excess, so you don't need to rotate the spoons. A second dip 24 hrs later and a week to cure makes it very durable. Brushing epoxy just doesn't produce as neat a spoon, IMO. See the DN banner ad at the top of this page. If you really want to "doll it up", apply Witch Tape holographic scale tape to a spoon and then spray color over it just as you would a foiled crankbait. On the Witch Tape, stick a slightly oversize piece on the spoon and run a straight edge razor blade around the edge of the spoon to make a neat application.
