anybody got a paint i can use on my jigs w/guards that i can get at like home depot? i am willing to top coat but what paint should i use? i am not having a fun time with powder and guards since i can use base hole pins and plan on making spinners in the near future. i really would like spray paint.

thanks

If your gonna topcoat then you can experiment with about anything. I would just use a good primer first. Don't laugh but I've used some metallic paint pens from walmarts art/school/office section over primer and sprayed clear laquer over some and devcon 5 min over some, works good so far....but these were just ones and twos. In my opinion though if your doing bass jigs then you should just go with powder; dependable, durable, cheap, and no topcoat needed. Check ebay, there is usually plenty on there cheap, JIM

see the problem is that i use powder paint already. i am finding it is hard to get quantity using powder on weedless footballs because of no base hole pins.

thanks jim, ill try a few different paints tonight. What type of primer is good? maybe expoxy?

thanks

I really like the self-etching primer like Eastwood, but regular primer in the spray can will work good, using a topcoat and a good primer makes all the difference. Are you airbrushing? If so you can't go wrong with acrylics. Check the model paint section at wallyworld. I have had good luck with vinyl. Hope it helps, JIM

looked into airbrush but it is too expensive for me at this point. i got all my paints not am gonna have to do topcoats.
