mikefishnfl Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hey guys, ive been reading a lot on here about different ways to top coat a hard bait. I do a lot of powder paint but just brought an airbrush yesterday and started playing with some old messed up Strike King baits I have. I painted one using createx, and it turned out pretty good for doing basically zero prep work. My question is, has anyone used the Krylon Poly Urethane spray for a top coat? I looked all over town for devcon 2 but haven't found it locally. I bought a rotisserie today and im going to make a drying wheel sometime this week. Anyways, let me know what you think for a "true rookie". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TightLinez Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks great man- a lot better than my first! I haven't tried that spray poly, but if it works out for you, I'm all over it. My guess is that you'd have to do a few coats, letting it dry between them. Right now I'm using Envirotex and I've been pretty happy with it.

mikefishnfl Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for the compliment! Here is the second one I just painted. It's not finished yet, but pretty close. Golden wild shiner. Has a black back, gold sides, pearl bottom. Hard to get the detail to focus on the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 You are really good at painting, for a first-timer with an airbrush. I've never used the Krylon Urethane as a topcoat, but I use their primer, spray glitter, and pastel fixative, and love them. Let us know how the urethane holds up as a topcoat.
