leadhead paint

powder coat or vinyl paint which is the best way to go ?

POWDER coat heat,dip,baked @ 350 for 15-20 mins and you have a hard as rock finish.. NO SMELLS like vinyl paints

If you have any further questions on powder painting jigs just holler …I do alot of them

DITTO I like to clean the eyes before I bake the paint on, doing this makes cleaning a lot easier and you will have less chips. I heat the jig head with my propane torch, depending on the size of head I will count to two or three quickly to preheat the head before dipping in the paint. Too much heat and they will pick up too much paint and the paint will run and drip or disform the jig head.

powder !

thanks guys appriciate the help

Powder

Powder is the way to go. One question to add here – for those of you who do a lot of powder painting, is there a way to do two-tone paint with power?

I have made some “custom” colors by mixing some different powders but have not had great luck with this.

And on the baking’em note, please line the FW’s oven with some foil because it is a [censored] to scape that powder paint off the rakes and oven bottom I got nothing if o know what I mean

Oh, color combos : dip in first color for your top color, then dip in lower color, ie, yellow over orange…yellow over green, whhite over blue…you get the idea. ?

Yes there is eyenducks dip the first color & reheat with a candle & dip the second color works great for me

Thanks, I’ll have to give the “double-dip” a try on the next batch. I would also second that about the foil or something in the oven to catch the drips. I was thinking about just buying a small toaster oven to keep in the cave just for my jigs.

Thanks again,
Dave

I use a heat gun, I don’t like using a flame on the lures. Keeps any burning or smoking to a minimum.

CS powder,heat gun, and a small toaster oven work great for doing small amounts of tackle.

toaster oven in the man cave
Yes, I think I may have to do some garage sale cruising

I have powder painted my own jigs for 8-10 years now and I always use th kitchen oven and have NEVER had and paint drip on the inside of it, nor have I had a smell stay in the oven.

If you use a toaster over cut you heat or time back a little ,it will help in not making the paint run.

In my mind if you dripping or running issues you are using too much powder paint.

I thought I may have set the oven temp to high….
What I do know my FW was a little more than pissed….
But she got her oven cleaned..
