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.
