Anglinarcher Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I don't even prepare, I just do it. then I dip in a clear coat of my choice and be done with it. The powder coated jig provides great adhesion to the lead and the airbrush paints give depth and variation to the paint pattern. The final clear, Epoxy, AlumiUV, Moisture Cure, etc., reduces chipping, etc. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I powder paint the head and bake the jig. I will then airbrush the head, let dry really well and then clearcoat with epoxy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye warrior Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Has anyone every tried clearing with clear powder over airbrushed details ? My first.thought is the heat may disrupt the createx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first.thought is the heat may disrupt the createx? Don't you normally heat set your Createx paint? If so, clearing with D2T isn't a problem however, I don't think that clearcoating with clear powder should be a problem either as long as you don't burn the clear coat. I have never done this with powder clear over Createx, so I'm not going to say go for it. Try it on a small part and post your results here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have painted eyes with Createx over Powder paint and then baked it. The paint came out o hard the I couldn't chip the eye off. I haven't tried clear PP over that so I have no info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basseducer Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I use my standard 350 degrees for 30 minutes. That is gold with black pupils. The only other color I have used is silver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspumper Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) You know when all else fails read the directions,I looked on the tubes of acrylic paint I have here low and behold it says to cure 350 degrees for 30 min, I tried it on some jigheads I was working on,worked good and a lot cheaper then using the Testors model paint I was using.Thank you Edited November 8, 2017 by gaspumper addedwords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
