Dsattackrat Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hey guys new one here but I have a question. I am painting a deps 250 and was wondering if anyone on here can give me info on clear coating those dang things? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Find a concrete sealer that you can brush on, like AC1315. Do one section at a time. If you have one with the soft coating, I don't know how to deal with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichthus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah the soft coating may be a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I know you pour some of your own plastics Mark. Have you ever tried dipping one of your swimbait sections in one of the harder plastics? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 If you have a Deps with no soft coating, and want to add it after you've top coated, Performix sell what it calls Liquid Tape. It is a clear spray-on electrical insulation that cures out soft and tough. It makes the baits slightly opaque, just like the original Deps soft coat. It DOES NOT play well with soft bait plastisol, so keep any lures you coat with it away from any soft plastics, and soft plastic swimbaits.

Cougarftd Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Plasti-Dip is what I use for soft coat matte finish...easy to use and very tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever tried dipping one of your swimbait sections in one of the harder plastics? Ben Ben, I've never done that. It might work. I worry that 350+- plastisol might bubble the paint and top coat. If it does work, it would let you add flake over your clear coat, too.
