starrSC Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I purchased some thermal paint just to play around with. I painted a DT-10 solid red and mixed the thermal paint in my clear. It came out cool, looks black when cold, red when warm. I know the temp in water varies everywhere but thought maybe at deep water where it is cooler and colors fade out anyways I could get my lure to turn black for a better silhouette. I was wondering if anyone here has every played around with this stuff or have any good ideas of how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Think you might have something there. I'd like to play with that myself. If you don't mind me asking , where did you get the thermal paint . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadfrog Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I have a completely crazy idea. I'm pretty well noted for that. Thanks for letting me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 That is a great idea! Is there a temp range that the paint needs to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanwood99 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 That is a great idea! Is there a temp range that the paint needs to change? Changes at 86 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrSC Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I tossed the lure in my pond, solid black. I definitely don't have any water around me that is warm enough to make the black turn clear. I just slapped it on my lure before giving it much thought about what temp it changed at. I thought it was worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
