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...
andy1976 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Candy powder coats are fairly thin. It also depends on how thick you apply it. I use epoxy powder from a local guy and It feels thinner than the usual stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 You will get your thinnest coat by having the jig head as cool as possible and the paint stick to it. I use a heat gun and heat the heads until the paint will barely stick to them. They will have a very dull finish to them but once you bake them they will be shiny and hard. Put on this way I do not get lumps or runs when I bake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Prismatic powders are good too. thickness is usually due to application: Jar dipping will be thicker than dipping in a fluid bed, then spraying will usually be thinner, using a proper powder coat gun would probably be thinnest, but probably not practical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Hanging a powder coated jig by the line tie when you heat cure it will cut down on lumpy drips on the head. Hanging a powder coated spinnerbait by the R bend will do that, too. Edited October 17, 2018 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
