ghost Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I am going to order a bunch of lure bodies and wanted to know if I can powder paint them or is it better to air brush? The same goes for spoons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 If you are referring to lead lure bodies, then yes you can use powder paint. There are other options, like you said air brush, then there is vinyl paint. Powder paint is the easiest IMHO. No smell and easy to apply. Air brushing has the cost factor, and a learning curve. However: you will get combinations with an air brush that you can't get with powder paint. A member on this forum by the name of Dampeoples does an excellent job with powder and air brush paint, maybe he will chime in and give you his thoughts. Also with an air brush, you have to seal the paint in if it's createx or water based. I don't know if anyone uses lacquer paint on lead jigs? I'm curious Does any one here use that? As far as spoons, I would say that aire brush would be you best choice. Again someone here will probably know more about this. Good luck on your choice and happy painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah I need to break down and buy a air brush. Where is the best place to buy paint for a air brush? I hand painted my first jigs and they turned out great but WOW it was time consuming. So I am upgrading to powder paint for jigs and brass lure bodies. Would like to use a air brush for spinners and spoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
