Joelh831 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hey guys I'm new to powder paint and wanted to see what's the thinnest powder paint out thier and what other brands besides pro-Tec are out thier. I tried out pro-tec chrome and that was pretty thick. I've seen some powder coated jigs or atleast i think thier powder coat from warbaits and it's super thin almost like paint. Ont their website it say they use "stonepro" powder but after looking for it on line i couldn't find anything. Are some powders thinner than other or they all pretty much the same. I'm gets jig head mold made and would like to use a thin coat so I don't loose any of the fine details. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Not quite sure what you mean by thinner. All powder coat paints are, well, powder, and by their nature are the same "thickness". If it is going on two thick, you are either not getting your item hot enough, leaving it in the powder too long, or ...... I think I am a bit confused on this one.

Well I guess I was expecting a thinner coat but like you mentioned I do believe I left it in for too long and on some it was a bit lumpy and I also notice it got stringy when I accedently touched the side or bottom. Is thier a good method of dipping the lead heads I’m doing 2-3 ounce on a 2 inch fluid bed But have you heard of “stone pro” powder by any chance. Theirs a company called Warbaits and they make some killer lead heads. I’ve used thier lead heads and notice thier paint is very thin.

LimpNoodle Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The difference is they are using an electrostatic gun to apply the paint. That method gives a much thinner coat than a fluid bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
