I have made hundreds of jigs and if you really want a good paint job use epoxy paint. This is not a fast process because you have to first put on a coat or two of white and then your color. This will give you a finish so hard that you can throw it on a cement floor without chipping the paint. It will dent the jig, but not chip. I get my paint from the Tackle Shop, Box 369, Richardson, Texas, 775080.
i have never been able to chip powder paint after it has been baked either. usually if you don’t have the eyes cleared out before you bake them it is impossible to use eyebuster or anything since the paint is so hard.
If the excess lead bothers you after removing the gate, I use a Dremel tool to grind off the excess. I usually don’t bother, but it works. On jigs I use powder paint, but on jigging spoons I spray paint with enamel, then a clear coat. Good Luck, any questions, just ask.
