george12182 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 After you get done powder painting a spinnerbait head, jig etc, whats the best way to add gills and stuff. I've thought about trying nail polish, vinyl jig paint, or paint markers. It'd be nice not to have to go the trial and error route though.

smalljaw Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Last year I started using the quick coat paint markers, they come with a couple different tips that range from fine to heavy and it's paint, not ink so it'll stay on. I usually powder paint my jigs and spinnerbaits, then use the marker and cure afterwards, the heat doesn't seem to affect the paint at all. After the cure I'll put a coat of clear epoxy on to really seal it up but it really isn't necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george12182 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was bored yesterday so I tried some nail polish. I bought some fine tip brushes to use with it. Either the brushes weren't fine enough or the paint was too thick. It worked all right, nothing spectacular though. I couldn't really get any consitency. Some came out good while others didn't. It sounds like the paint markers are probably the way to go. I'm gonna give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
