microtek60 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I make alot of spinnerbaits and am trying to start spraying more and was wondering what is a good top coat for these that can be sprayed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I use clear lacquer, only I don't spray it on, I just dip the whole bait - hook first - and let it hang to dry. I reduce it with a little MEK to about the consistency of say milk, and you really can't see it on the hook once it is dried. I have read that it yellows over time, but have never seen this to be true, and I have been doing this for several years now. It can be sprayed if reduced to a sprayable viscosity if you prefer. And oh yes, it gives the spinnerbait a very nice high gloss finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I use 2 ton. just paint it right on. If you get a nice thin coat you don't even have to turn it while it's curing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Click the Dick Nite link on the banners when it comes into rotation, he'll give you a jar for free (you pay UPS shipping), or hell, next time you go to Falls to fish, let me know, i'l give you a jar of mine, I'm 5 minutes from Upper Barton's Creek.

ominousone Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 is dick nite's paint powder paint? Is the clear topcoat able to be mixed w/his glitters? How about is the topcoat durable? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm trying to figure is all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 His paint is laquer. Never tried to mix the coat with glitter, but I don't see why not. Yes, it's durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
