Cru3rd Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Picked up a few bbk-1 knock offs and curious how to paint and clear the rubber tails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cru3rd Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is there a certain type of paint/ clear to use that will keep the action of the rubber tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Lureworks has a new waterbased paint for soft plastics but I think you still need to dip the bait afterwards, they also still have the original paint that is quite toxic to breath but I'm told it does a great job and I think it is more permanent than the waterbased without dipping but I have no personal use with it.

mark poulson Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I use solvent based sharpies, and just retouch it when it fades or kind of blurs. The Spikeit scented markers work, too, the ones you use to color soft plastics, but all of them are dyes, and will eventually creep and blur, and lose that crisp look you get at first.
