Dink Mendez Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I been using lure jig paint and nail paint for yours on my jigs and darter heads. I don't like the power paint nor the vinyl paints. Has anyone use spray paint or paint I can dip the lure into and hang and try and still be worm proof. I would like to use a paint that I can purchase from either Home depot or Lowes. Worm proofing is my biggest concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Seems like you can use most any paint you like as long as you clear coat it with Devcon 2 ton epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Mendez Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I was trying to avoid epoxy, but that is what make most sense.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 The problem is a lot of the spray enamels will need a top coat of some sort, I'm not sure but spray acrylic might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSNeely Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I also use epoxy however I've been playing around with DO-IT's seal coat. So far I like it and its very easy to use. NO mixing/measuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Out of curiosity, why don't youi like powder paints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I know everyone has an opinion, but I don't know how much easier it could be than using powder paint. I do beleive many people don't go to the step of heating the paint after dipping their bait, and it won't stay on very well without doing it. It is soo much easier, than what was offered years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Not to mention powder paint is next to bullet proof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hard to beat the ease of powder paint. Heat, dip/swish, heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venutian_Lures Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I personally use the same paint I paint my cranks with, which is Createx. I paint them the same way too. Prime with white, then layer the colors. However I do a few more coats of paint on my jigs and a thicker coat of D2T.I was wondering about the UV Gel Nail polish type paints, you could paint the jig real quick and then hang it in the little UV cure light contraption. Not sure how well it would hold up, or how hard that stuff gets, but it popped into my head as an alternative to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Mark Poulson uses nail polish a lot.Gets pretty hard, but I don't know how well it holds up to plastic. If you use a colored nail polish, once it's dried you have to go over it with clear nail polish, or it will react with plastics. I use Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails clear if I have it, but almost any clear will work. I add soft plastic flake to clear nail polish, to add flake to my powder painted jig heads.
