finlander Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Based on info from another web site, I came up with an idea for painting these plastic things. The PVC glues will gle together torn baits. Is there a way to mix some color into this pvc glue as to color the baits, paint them? I tried a little enamel today on top of the pvc glue, and the paint held on when I twisted the lure body. It DID wipe off with a little pressure from my finger though. I did not mix up the two before applying them. I think the pvc will set up fast, but I was told MEK will dilute and extend the time. Also, water submerging has not been explored, yet. Any thoughts from the experts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 I tried just as you did, with the same results. I thinned with MEK & added UDP's (universal dispersal pigments) Wish it would work cause the PVC glue is very affordable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 So, it does not work, you're saying?? I figured you would be the first to answer . I'm new at this stuff so my ideas may be years behind the pros. Does it wash off??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 well kinda...... It does stick, but it comes off when you apply pressure to the bait. The paint I bought from Noel smells similar to PVC glue, but the adhesion is dramatically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 And I don't want a fish ingesting any since it will be c & r,..... probably. Is the paints from Noel quite expensive, if you can tell me here, before I make the call??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 It seems slightly pricey at first, i cant remember what it actually cost, but I got a few ounces of color pigments (in 5 colors) & 2 ounces of the paint for around $50. but,..... after you thin it with MEK (3:1) for dotting & @(6:1) for spraying (im guessing for spray) It works,......... & that was what I was concerned with.

Mercury Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 I dont remembeer if I put it here or not, but the krylon "fusion" plastic paint that "bonds" to the plastic will not "bond" to our plastics. It does well on the plastic lawn chairs, but it will not cure on our plastics. Tis a shame too, they have tons of purdy colures.......

earthworm77 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I've been using the Spike it chunk paint for smaller jobs like dotting eyes and stuff. It really works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haebar Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Is that what they use on the painted Beetle Spins? I saw them at the Sporting goods store the other day and they looked great. They had all different fluorescent colored grubs with fantastic paint jobs, probably all done in sweatshops in China somewhere. What kind of paint is that? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Not sure of the name of the paint but it does work. I don't know if Johnson ewtc. is using it on Beetlespins but I know exactly what your talking about. Chris, this would look killer on those tadpole looking dropshot baits of yours with the protruding eyes. On man, I'm gonna have to get some now from you!
