bdbone Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Okay I painted some jigs and buzzheads starting with white base, colored on top of that with acrylic and clear coated with enviro lite but after a half day of fishing the paint is coming off in chunks. What did I do wrong? Please help thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Did you clean (prep) your lead before you painted the primer coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I hit mine off with a coat of self-etching primer as soon as they are cool enough, helps to avoid this problem. If your using unpainted heads ordered from a caster then I would do like Ledhed mentioned and clean them before priming (still recomend the self-etching stuff though), JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Ratz Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I order my self-etch primer from the Eastwood Company and comes already thinned ready for spraying. Dries almost instantly and I have never had a paint failure (knock on wood) and it gives a good tooth for the paint to adhere to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdbone Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks, I'll try the self etch primer. Wonder if I can buy it locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Ratz Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah, check with a auto supply store. It also comes in spray cans. Wal-Mart may even carry it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
