jimcline Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm thinking of trying to powder paint over some spinnerbait heads that I already used liquid paint on. They didn't get a 2nd coat and I'm wondering if I can do this without any problems with heating the head with the liquid paint. I'm just trying to save some time. Thanks for any help guys, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Jim, My first guess says yes it would work. My concern would be the final baking of the powder in the oven for curing. I'm guessing that you should have no problems with the baking and curing also. My reasoning for this is this. I used to prime all my lead jigs with self etching primer. It was in a spray can. Then I powder painted and baked the jigs with no problems. Also when I first started this addiction, I used to spray paint some jigs and then I powder painted them years later. It seemd to work fine. I guess it depends on what kind of paint is on the spinnerbaits. Try one and see how it goes, and fill us in on your outcome.

jimcline Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Cadman, thanks a bunch. I really didn't think it would be a problem, but I figured someone would have some experience with it. And you're right about this being an addiction, and your 2 cents worth is worth a bunch, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 jimcline I had quite a number of jigs that had been primed for painting and I had about 60% of them to "Bubble" on baking. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test a few baits before you commit more heavily. Be advised that this technique will NOT work with vinyl paint. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it has some good qualities, the only thing it gave me was a bad headache, and it smelled for several days in the house. Needless to say, I don't use it anymore.
