fshfactor Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Does anyone know of a source to have some Spinnerbait and Buzzbait heads powder painted, then maybe adding a second color. For example, I need some white/chart, bleeding shad, golden shad etc painted up and after purchasing an airbrush, I have no desire to do this, LOL I live in California and I heard there was someone back east that does this sort of stuff. Any info would be great! Sean I'd also like them to paint some crappie heads also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbor Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Have you considered doing it yourself with a homemade fluid bed, toaster oven and some protec powder paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhahn427 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Have you considered doing it yourself with a homemade fluid bed, toaster oven and some protec powder paint. It's hard to powder paint a spinner bait because of the wire ....... you usually have to spray the powder paint on a spinner/buzz bait. Unless of course you don't mind the hook being painted also.

rhahn427 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 How do you dip spinnerbait/buzzbait heads without getting paint on the hook or the shaft ? I have 2 flowbeds and I've never been able to figure out how to do it ......... That's what makes this site so good ...... sharing info and new techniques.

robbor Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I will second that. I have heard people say its east to powder paint SB/BB heads before but I just cannot see it. A pic would help my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microtek60 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 just a thought but couldnt you tape up the shaft and hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinyard Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 rhahn are you heating the whole sb/bb before dipping? I heat just the head over a candle before dipping. That way only the head and very little of the shaft is painted. Then I wipe the excess powder off the hook with a wet paper towel. Hope this helps........

I use a small butane torch to heat the head only. I do not use a bed for dipping. If your bed is big enough I assume that would work. I use the oval rubber maid containers that are about 6" long and they hold about 2 and 1/2 jars of powder. yes you will get powder just above the head and a bit on the hook just from the body. But as stated, just wipe the powder off the hook before you heat cure. It makes for a nice finished bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
