fishnbound Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm looking for a good source for Chartreuse Powder Paint. I see the Yellow Chart. and the Green Chart. but i would like to get something closer to actual Chartreuse. My spinnerbaits look more yellow to me when i use those mentioned above. Anyone good a good source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I've used pro tech glow green chartreuse, its a tad on the green side. I'm not sure what you mean by actual chart, every company has a different shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havend tried the glow colors yet so that may be something i need to try out. That color is yellow chartreuse. You may need to add multiple coats and cure them a little longer to get a bright finish. I'm experimenting on using a liquid clear coat on powder painted jigs to try and bring out some of the brightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havend tried the glow colors yet so that may be something i need to try out. I give mine a white base coat to begin with that seems to brighten up the colors.

cadman Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 fishnbound, Like Quickdraw said you should put a white basecoat on all bright colors like, ylw chart, grn chart, blaze org and hot pink. The colors come out much brighter and you use less of the second color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbrushextreme Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I use either fluorescent yellow or neon yellow tgic special effects from columbia coatings the neon yellow does a great job for chartreuse craw type colors the fluorescent yellow does the same exact color on the SOB spinnerbait pictured above their translucent candy yellow does the same type color as their clown and money colors over a gold blade I put some time and money into trying most of the colors from columbia and have found nothing but great product from them in all their colors and they are a commercial/military grade powder paint so it wont chip off and will be harder than your pro tech ever could I have some jig heads that have been repetitively beat into docks and riprap that still have all the paint on them even though they have dents gouges and dings in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippinfool Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I mixed yellow chart and green chart to get that color. I started with yellow chart and put in small amount or green chart and white pearl to get the color I wanted. The only colors I use straight are black and white pearl. Everything else is mixed. My wife (not me) can match any color on the planet. She can match any color plastic. When the head slides on it looks like one pc. She has all these colors down pat. She did a great job matching all these colors http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Keitech_Swing_Impact/descpage-KSI.html#multiview. She also matches all my skirt material. I think I'll have to keep here around for a while LOL. Edited March 16, 2011 by flippinfool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 2 oz Pro Tec Green Chart, 2 oz Pro Tec Yellow Chart Pour both in empty fluid bed cup. Turn it on for 5 minutes. Perfect chartruese, apply over white. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 closest I have come to that color is Pro Techs Candy Yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryem1221 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The first thing I do after pouring spinnerbaits or jigs is to soak them in white vinegar for exactly 1 hour no more because your hooks can start to rust. This method oxidizes the lead so paint will stick to the heads. I use whats called Gesso to coat my heads prior to painting with any type of liquid paint. I was taught this method form the original inventor (Loyd Talent) of the Manns's Rat Tom Mann purchased all of his molds and rights to market the rats.

pokerlaw Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 When anyone uses a base coat ( like white ) do you still bake the powder paint? Does it bleed the two paints? Newbe here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 When anyone uses a base coat ( like white ) do you still bake the powder paint? Does it bleed the two paints? Newbe here Yes, I bake it after both colors are on. I only use a white base coat for jigs that the final color is bright. Like ylw chart., hot pink, hot orange and lime green. The white base lets you use less of the final color and makes those final colors really bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokerlaw Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks. Still struggling. Dipped a 1/2 dozen today to exp. Double coat char. Which ended looking more opaque gold. White base with char over. Started ok but after baking is more a swirl. Then white to bake then add char. That turned close but seems very thick? Yes, I bake it after both colors are on.

White base with char over. Started ok but after baking is more a swirl. Then white to bake then add char. That turned close but seems very thick? Can you post a pic of the painted jig you are having problems with. Here are the simple steps to put ylw/chart over white. #1 Take your clean hot jig and swish it through a well shaken container of white powder paint. #2 Look at the jig to make sure it is completely covered with the white paint. The jig should be gloss white. #3 Take your ylw/chart., and shake it up in the jar. Now take your white jig, reheat and swish through the ylw/chart powder paint. Don't burn the white paint. #4 Run the jig over the heat. It should gloss over with the ylw/chart completely covering the jig. #5 If it is not dark enough for you, repeat steps 4 and 5 until you get the correct color depth. Remember fast and quick through the ylw/chart. #6 When done put on rack to bake. Your colors should not separate. Remember you will have to dip your jig into the ylw/chart more than once, as the ylw/chart powder will not cover with one coat. Also, do not hold your hot jigs too long in the powder, especially the white, as it is a heavier powder. Below is a pic of an all white jig, with only ylw/chart. applied on the top. Yours will be entirely covered and bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jign4bass Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Try looking at the color chart on "powderbythepound" that way you can eliminate all the extra work and just coat and cure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
