senseamila Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hello All, I need to clear coat some spinnerbaits and was wondering if anyone has ever tried clear no-chip nail polish? If so how does it hold up? I only have a couple dozen to paint and nail polish is pretty cheap. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Jig Man Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I use it on jigs and spinnerbaits over the eyes. It does a descent job and like you stated it's cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've used it for years. Even some of the cheaper clear polishes are hard, and will do the job, because they are formulated to protect the softer colored polish once that's been applied. You can also add soft plastic glitter to the clear to add flake to your jigs at the same time you protect them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 that is a great idea mark, thanks Erick, Wet 'n Wild clear is cheap and does the job. CVS carries it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Try it first on a sample first . Some FPs will lift certain powder paints. Chartreuse and hot pink are problematic for me. Sally Hansen has a new clear coat that is supposed to be compatible with "all" paints. WetnWild is great stuff - super cheap - and been around a long time. Easy to use and can be thinned down with acetone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
