sectvchamps1113 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have been doing some reading on how to paint spoons however there is not a lot out there. What paint should I use on the blanks? Powder or Dick Nite? After the paint what do I clear them with? What are the benefits of each? Lastly would an airbrush be the way to go?

BobP Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm partial to the Dick Nite S81 Fishermun's Lurecoat, which is a great moisture cured urethane for topcoating. For paint, I use regular acrylic latex Createx shot directly on the metal with an airbrush and it has worked for me. The topcoat soaks through it and bonds with the metal underneath. However, for even more durability, you can use Dick Nite lacquer paints, which can be used with an airbrush, or a brush, or dipped. Dick Nite's main business is spoon production. He sells his coating to hobbyists as a sideline and you can get a TU discount on the urethane here: http://www.dicknite.com/TU_Lander.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
