baileybassman Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi i've looked over the site for some info on painting jigheads in bulk. I started out powder painting but the customer wants me to match there original line exactly. I bought some paint from stamina tackle to try but i cant find a way to do this in a production style manner. I bought vinyl paint and vinyl thinner. If anyone has any help I have over 200,000 jigheads to paint by mid December. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generaly I'd say they are using Bohning lure lac. on the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Make you some "Dipping" pans (best out of wood and with a V shape) about 16" long Next make up some stips to hang them on about 14 inches long and drill holes the required distance to keep the jigs from touching each other ( the thickness and width of the strips will depend on the size of the jigs) Now make a rack out of 2X4s (turn on edge and connect on the ends with a strip width between 2x4s roughly 12" wide enough to accomidate the strips. Length of 2x4s you can detrmine by space available Hang the jigs on the strips .. dip them "Screte" them and hang on rack for drying Hope you get the general idea .. before power paint I did this with lacquer.

It details how to go about doing a large scale vinyl operation in there: http://web.archive.org/web/20060311174718/http://www.csipaint.com/csipaint_catalog.pdf I built something similar back when I was doing lots of vinyl. I built my dip trays out of roof flashing and JB-Weld. I also tweaked other bits of the design but the overall operation was pretty much the same.
