curtisb Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Used some pearl paint for first time today. After painting and curing looks like it needs a second coat. Is this trait of this color or I not getting enough paint on them? Painting using a fluid bed. Next question. Has anyone ever used the curing rack or holder that that holds jigs by the hook with the heads up that TJ's tackle sells? Thanks For Your Help!

DaBehr Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes...I have 6 of the TJ's curing racks. Work perfect! I also use them if I put a coat of the CS Coatings UV Blast Seal Coat on a jig or spinnerbait. Make sure you shake your pearl powder paint really well before using.....and typically I do not need to put more than one coat on. I swish the jig around in my fluid bed (also from TJ's) which seems to help.Give it a quick tap when you pull it out...before you put it back over the heat to fully set. I then cool them in a cup of water and let them completely dry before I bake them at 350 for 20 minutes in my cheap toaster oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 White pearl is the only color that I use a white base coat on because it looks better and deeper to me. Try painting your bait white and then go over it in pearl and see if that is what you are looking for, I'll bet it is as I had the same reaction many years ago when I first tried it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 x2 on what Smalljaw said. Also if you use any fluorescent colors, a white basecoat is a must for the colors to pop and be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
