On my plastics with eyes, I use a plain leadhead.....no paint at all with as much success as a head with color.

Also, dipping the eyes helps to keep them from being torn off. I was fishing a dock a while ago with a buddy who brought his camera along and we saw small sunfish swim up to baits with eyes and they'd literally try to suck the eyes off the plastic. Go figure. Those little sunnies were tough on even coated eyes.
