Painting Spoons/spinner Blades

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, this is my first post. Have been following for a while and doing a lot of searching. SOme great stuff on here. For those of you that paint your own spinner blades and spoons, do you sand or primer the blade first? I was thinking for those bright fluorescent and candy colors I would definitely need primer. I will be painting on nickel, copper, and brass with createx airbrush paints. Also, I couldnt find any picks of blades/spoons. Does anyone have some pics to get me some ideas? I will be making them for crawler harnesses and spoon harnesses and targeting walleye. Thanks

I never used createx. I know some guys that airbrush use a white powder coating as a primer.

I've tried powder paint on french blades for inline spinners. Heat the blades with a torch than dip and bake them. Hold the top of the blade with needlenose pliers. Experiment with a few and good luck.

Welcome to TU !

I sometimes paint homemade spoons and blades of stainless steel , copper and brass sheet ,......... either with rattle cans or by brushing on modelmaking enamels .

Prior to priming the blanks white , I'd either sandblast them at my work or at least treat them with a rotating steel bristled brush to clean of the oxide layer from brass and copper and to have the surface a little rough for better adhesion of paint .

The painted blades and spoon do require a sufficient clearcoat for more durability and especially to protect them against the softeners containing in plastic lures , that the blades might get in contact with whilst storage .

good luck , diemai :yay:
