Little Chardy Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Does anyone know how to get a black spatter effect on jig heads like the ones that Boss Outdoors sells at Fishing Skirts.com with just using powder paint? If anyone has ever been able to do something like this with just powder paint I would love to see a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is just a guess but after looking at these jigs, here's an idea. No warranty.. I'm thinking dip and bake your base color. Then use the powder liquid to liquify your powder. Load a stiff brush with the liquid powder and after reheating the jig, splatter it by pulling the stiff brush back with your thumb loaded with liquid powder and let go. Then bake again. Haven't tried it but may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Never used powder paint in my life, but would a salt shaker work? Might have to tape over some of the holes in the cap so a bunch isn't coming out all at once. Like I said, I've never used powder paint so you'll have to take this reply with a grain of salt.

smalljaw Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 The way Apdriver described doing it would be the only way because the dry powder expands when it melts so you don't end up with small streaks. If you are going to use powder then you have to get the powder water and then do as Apdriver said but I don't know how the final cure would come out. The easiest way would be to powder paint the base and then cure it and once it cools, take an old tooth brush and dip it in some black vinyl paint and that will get you a splatter back finish.

BLT Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I did it just by doing the white base, then dipping brush into 2nd color and holding brush really high and tapping it. Used it on some wobble head jigs. I had to shut all window, turn fan off. Could not have any air movement or it would just make it to hard to control where and how much paint your were tapping off the brush. Do not load the brush up. I did not get the streaks mentioned.
