mifon Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Quite a while ago, someone on this forum shared a powder paint that looked to be "cracked"in its dried form resulting in a brownish, veined finish similar to a "Copperhead". I have exchanged PM's with Cadman and have verified it was not him. I would like to find this powder paint, or others, to try. I am looking for colors that are still nature-like, but different from the norm and standard colors used on jig heads and spinner baits. If you have any colors you would suggest (and especially if you know of or have the "Copperhead" color) please share it and the source where one might obtain it. Thanks Mifon Nashville TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Thanks, Allen. That's very interesting. As it turns out, Columbia Coatings is only 45 minutes from my house! I'll have to look into what they have. Looks like they are set up for industrial powder coating operations. I wonder if they would sell to a hobbyist? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeFishing Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 You can also buy it in a 1/2 pound or 2 oz. for most of their colors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Wetline Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Go here: https://www.tjstackle.com/ Click on Powder Paint then go to "Crinkle Colors." I particularly like their crinkle copper which I get in 1 oz. containers. They also say they'll custom mix colors. I've found both their products and service to be excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look really good also! Just wondering, do these Crinkle Colors require any extra attention in applying or curing? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike Mike, I haven't noticed any difference in application, but there is a label on the jar that says, "Cure at 400º for 10 minutes. I can't do that because I cast a bismuth/tin alloy that melts at 395º. Cured at 325º for an hour, I can whack a head against my bench vise and not see any evidence of abuse. In the photo below, the color of the football is TJ's Crinkle Copper and the naked Poison Tail is Crinkle Penny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, do these Crinkle Colors require any extra attention in applying or curing? Thanks Mike When you paint a jig with it and you see all one color, don't get excited. The first time I used gold veined paint I was disappointed as the jigs looked like plain gold. I figured they were painted so I'll cure them and maybe add some GP or watermelon and make roadkill out of it. Well after I took them out of the oven they looked great, and so don't judge your jig until after it is cured, that is when the veins really come out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyjigs Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I have used a powder from Zeinershttps://www.zeiners.com/doit/powderpaint.html called "Copperhead" Have noticed it slightly changes it's antique finish with more or less heat. Good natural looking head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
