piddler Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 i want to buy blue glimmer pigment or paint like Hawg Caller uses to paint their spinnerbait heads. I have some glimmer pigment but mine doesn't show up as well as their's. I've tried it in clear epoxy and clear powder but neither looks like what i want. What I have is called interference pigment. Where can I get what they use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 OK, I do not know how I missed this entire post and I am sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you on this one. What kind of paint are you spraying now? I have no idea what hawgcaller uses, but I like the glimmer blue that I got awhile back called HiPolymer. Its a taxidermy paint which of course means its a laquer. Laquers are great to work with if your not already using them. What degree of transparency are you trying to achieve? You can check out Hi-Polymer at http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/ I haven't bought anything from them this year but I think it was $9.00 a quart. I need to get some more myself, that is getting to be a very popular color around here and other places too it seems, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 If you have a hard clearcoat on the raw head, you could use a Createx base coat white, followed by one of there chameleon colors (blue, green, gold, etc...). I have done some heads for white flipping jigs that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsand Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I have no idea what Hawg Caller uses, but have you tried Component Systems http://www.csipaint.com/. They have a product called Electreflect that is semi-transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfish Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 hawg caller uses automotive paint and is very expensive unless using large amounts. try mixing a light amount of blue in a pearl white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Ratz Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Hawg Caller uses a three step process to paint their spinnerbait heads. They first powder coat the heads, then spray on the paint colors and then use Imron as a clearcoat. I would say the blue glimmer is mixed in the clearcoat as a final finish. I have some powder I purchased that looks similar to what they use but have not tried it yet. May try some this weekend and let you know how it turns out. They make a beautiful bait but are way to pricey since they were bought out IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
