steelee Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Whats the best way to take the shine off unpainted lead jigs. I don't paint all my jigs, I have some fresh pours and need to dull them up. I've tried Coke but found it tarnished my hook which ended up rusting really easily. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Vinegar or paint stripper will make it a dull gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelee Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks, Soak it, or just dip it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 On the vinegar I would soak it try about an hour and then take a look at it. I normally use paint remover to remove powder paint on my bad jigs, and as soon as the paint remover takes the paint off about 15-30 minutes, in that time the lead is a dull gray.
