maltrout Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I picked up some Eastwood Copper and Silver Vein powder paint the other day and I put it on some jigs last night. Problem is they did not come out the way I had expected. Here is the link to how I think they should come out Eastwood Co. - Hotcoat Powder Copper Vein 8 oz The paint when put on the jigs had a more spotted look to it instead of the vein look I was hoping for. I am wondering if there is some special technique to get the veins to come out. The method I used was to heat the jigs in the toaster, dip in fluid bed, run under heat gun to smooth out, then bake in over for 20-30 minutes. I also tried a black base coat and got the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Maltrout, Could be that the jig is too small to get the desired effect. Try coating something bigger like a slab spoon or a large Colorado blade. Just a thought.

maltrout Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I like the picture on their website. I'm going to try this powder.Regards, PSV The paint doesnt look anything like the picture on the website when painted on a jig at least the way I did it, lol. Basseducer may be right that the jig is too small to see the desired effect. Also you can get it cheaper from Columbia Coatings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) maltrout, Thank you. I do 1 & 11/2oz Sparkie jigs. Maybe, they are big enough.
