    Default What to Make Lead Shiny


    I need some silver heads that I'll coat with clear paint, not doing enough to get them chrome plated, so what's the best thing to use to take the tarnish off of lead heads? Silver powder paint isn't silver enough for me.

    If you are pouring your own heads add more zinc to your lead and they will shine like new money, also makes the lead harder so hooks are less likely to break away from lead.
