Cub48 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am looking for some paint that works well with jigs so you can just dip and let dry. Not the little bottles at the sporting goods stores. Has anyone tried the little 1/2 pint cans of rustoelum or other hardware brands. Has anyone tried spray cans like spray it in the lid paint with a brush. Everyone else talking about powder paint I know it's good but it's not what i want or can afford as a 1/2 pint runs 2.50 power 10.00 or better. Thanks for any input Cub48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Your best bet would be vinyl paint, the problem with using rattle can paint is that jigs are made out of lead and will dent if it hits a rock on a cast and that will chip the paint off, quickly too. If you are just using them for yourself and don't mind repainting your jigs after every outing then by all means use whatt you can afford but I don't recommend it if you want it to look good or last even a few outings. Powder does cost more but it does last longer and vinyl is flexible but that may be a little more than you want to spend also so take the hardware paint and try it out and let us know how it works for you, it may be good enough for a quick paint job for those looking for some color without a quality finish.

If you are looking for an alternative to powder because of cost, then read this. There is inexpensive powder paint available. http://www.tackleund...int-hey-cadman/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
