rdhammah Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I recently made a POP injection mold of a paddle tail swimbait. I'd like to paint the top black or blue or green. What paints do you guys use? I tried using a permanent marker on a piece of scrap, but it leached into the plastic. Also, I'd like to put eyes on them but super glue damages the plastic. (at least on the store bought ones) How do you guys stick them on and make them stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lureworks has the best paint by far. Check out their site. Colure is safer and needs to be dipped in plastisol SB Coat requires excellent mask and ventilation but is super durable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhammah Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 any way to do this without air brushing or permanent marker (bleeds into bait)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 5 hours ago, rdhammah said: ... or permanent marker (bleeds into bait)? It depends by permanent marker: if you use a oil based marker, then it will work to bleed inside soft plastic, instead if you will use an alcohol based marker, as a Copic one, then it will rest on the surface. Moreover Copic markers and similars can be air brushed, for instance I use the Spritzer pump with success. Bye Cami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I've found that the SpikIt dye markers I use on my soft plastics don't bleed, at least for me. http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Lure-Dyes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Copics work well but I have used them and SB Coat and SB Coat is far superior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
