seafoam Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Was wondering if its possible to paint directly over the clear coat?was thinking of applying scales over clear to give it a 3d look,of course it would give the bait slightly more weight having two coats of clear. Can this be done or has anyone done this?Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy maker Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yes I have painted over Devcon before. I didn't have any trouble with the Createx that I use. mossy maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsteel Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have done it with no problems on larger baits. It will make the bait heavier and add more bulk.I guess it could affect some baits like suspending lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 There are those who use epoxy as a wood sealer. So painting on epoxy is not a problem at all. I would scuff the smooth epoxy 1st b4 painting to let the paint have more "bite". (Mechanical bond is the more technical term for it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you shoot lacquer then there will be no problem. Just shoot it. You won't have to do any prep at all. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks for the help guys, I'm still working on this one and should have it finished tonight .I used a very fine Emory paper to scuff the surface and the cretex is sticking well.I mess up the paint the first time and had to start over.
