schmink Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hello everyone, Just wondering if it would be ok to apply a vinl coat over a white powder coat? Thank's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) That's a good question. My 1st guess would be to say no. Only reason is that I believe vinyl paint has lacquer thinner in it. I do know that if you leave a powder painted jig in lacquer thinner the paint will soften and will wrinkle. However if the vapors flash off really quickly then it wouldn't be a problem. Try it out and let us know as I'm curious. Edited March 10, 2011 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred27 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 What kind of paint is used to make the dot eyes on powder coated spinner bait heads? I see them for sale on various tackle suppliers websites. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmink Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 What kind of paint is used to make the dot eyes on powder coated spinner bait heads? I see them for sale on various tackle suppliers websites. Thank you I believe t he eyes your referring to are stick on eyes that are covered with a clear coat. I mostly use C-S paint markers. I checked the my marker ,and their was no indication of what kind of paint it contains. maybe if cadman reads this he can offer some insight. (He's the pro).

cadman Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) maybe if cadman reads this he can offer some insight. (He's the pro). Ok guys so you will all know now one of my weakneses, which I'm not a "pro at" and that is painted eyes. I always use 2d or 3d stick on eyes whenever possible. When I used to paint eyes, I used acrylic or Testors lacquer paint. Take a finishing nail or a wood dowel and dip it in the paint then dab it on the jig. Do this with a smaller dowel if you want a pupil. On the lacquer paint sometimes it doesn't agree with certain powders as it tends to want to bleed so do a test piece first. With that said that is about all he help I can give you. I am sure there are other guys that will chime in and give some good answers and advice.

Terry Anderson Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I did some swim jigs recently and powdered them in white...scaled them with Createx...and epoxied the entire jig...threw it on the floor...not a chip! I did heat cure everything from beginning to end.... I have lacquered over some of my powders with no problems...I'll see if I can locate some pics.
