C.C.Pikie Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi All, I'm new here. Been looking for a forum like this! :-) My question is about painting spinner blades for inline bucktail spinners. I've built such baits before for Musky and had some success. I have generally used large brass Colorado or fluted nickel plated blades. Spray paint like Krylon was used. The blades haven't held the paint very well and I'd like a more durable finish. My goal is to build a few with lemon yellow blades for a Yellow Perch pattern and the old style red and white stripe like the Daredevil spoons. Can't find these to buy. Your suggestions appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Powder paint should stay on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Try Rustoleum Self Etching Primer, then use your paint, topcoat with whatever is compatible with your paint. I use SE Primer, Createx, and clear nail polish (dollar store brands). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.C.Pikie Posted May 6 Author Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) I'm painting a new batch of large brass spinner blades. Scuffing them first with a Scotch-Brite pad. Using Dupli-Color self-etching primer, then a white undercoat of America's Finest by Rust-Oleum and a yellow top coat of Rust-Oleum High Performance Enamel. Will finish with a clear coat, to be purchased. The primer can says it's compatible with all paints. Not sure about the white because I can't determine if it's lacquer, enamel or acrylic. So far, no lifting or cracking. Edited May 6 by C.C.Pikie error 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
