LimpNoodle Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Been reading the forum for a couple of days. Think I have most of my questions answered. But just want to make sure I'm going about this the right way. 1. Strip lacquer from blades. 2. Apply white powder paint and cure. 3. Airbrush additional colors/patterns on blade. Am I making it more complicated than it needs to be? Am I missing any steps? These would all be fairly large blades used for Salmon spinners. If the spinners go well I will then try some wobblers.

You don't need a base coat with powder and you don't need to cure between coats, so I' go like this: 1. strip lacquer 2. apply whaite powder 3. Airbrush patterns or other colors and cure.

LimpNoodle Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I wasn't clear. The airbrushing of other colors won't be with powder paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da big tuna Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I thought the base coat was the white coat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad... then you are correct, white powder and then cure and airbrush. The other thing is you'll need to clear coat the blade after airbrushing otherwise it won't take much for the paint to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP That depends on you, some like lacquer, others like Dick Nites clear, I prefer Devcon 2 ton epoxy, the choice is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da big tuna Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 So I use enviortex lite . Can I spray that in a air brush? It is thick as all get out? Im sure people do. What kind of brush would you use if you brush it on? I do tiny ice jigs and I would probably brush those .I have tried to brush before but I seem to leave a lot on the jig.
