mark poulson Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I want to try and airbrush some of the soft plastic swimbaits I pour. What kind of paint/brand should I use, and who sells it? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurizio Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I wonder why you posted a link to the vinyl paints and not these softplastic paints. http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/plastic%2dproducts/paint%2dfor%2dplastic%2dlures Does it adheres to the plastic, like the soft plastic color does?

Frank Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Spike it does A little cheaper too. Look under lureworks section. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Get the retarder It dries slower and gives you more time to work it. It still dries fast though. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 thats what i meant LOL. In my video I guess I said thinner and a guy sent me a message that he could not get it on the bait before it dried. Now I correct that statement and say retarder.

My bad. Your link is correct. I grabbed the wrong one from my "favorites". Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 No problem, Rick! For about a few seconds when i read your post (or clicked the link), i was hoping "your" 1 oz paint could fit my needs too. Because Lurecraft ships plastic paint internationally. But the cans (4 oz) are too large in diameter to fit into the small flat rate box and the next size is 45$ for shipping. Too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Way back when - someone on this forum suggested this company's product: http://semproducts.comThey offer a line of flexible coatings (page 18 - 19 of the catalog). http://semproducts.com/cms/Download+Catalog/156.htmlThey have a retail outlet in Germany: http://semproducts.c...country=GermanyDon't ask me how - I've never used it... Hope this helps. Good luck! Rick Edited October 28, 2011 by rixon529 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thank you so much for your links, Rick! I'll have a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plt Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Sem works vvey well the make automotive paints that adhere to almost any kind of plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 So you have experience with using SEM products, i guess. Don't you have to dip the bait to seal and fix the paint? That would be great. I am still waiting for their reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico.29 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 to my experience, sorry in advance, lurecraft soft paint is the worst product i ever used, it's impossible to get a good conservation of this paint, it gets like a paste after a while. There must be a good paint, but it stil to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
