Powder paint question

[LedHed]

No worries SR
Need to post some pics of the tube jigs I did with glow in the dark PP. I like what you have been doing with the marbling.

SLJ
Post up some pics - sounds like a great idea.

ledhed would like to see some of those pictures did you paint the body's glow-in-the-dark to put inside tubes . Yes I've been enjoying playing around with this squirrel painting I'm going to be more interested in seeing how the power pain will work in the same affect so we will be doing some experimenting.

Depends on how you use your powder paint. If you want to “fluff and stuff” - yeah - it would be good to go with an undercoat (a fluid bed will give you a thin even undercoat). It’s always recommended to use the undercoat – personally don’t think it is necessary. I primarily use brushes with up to 4 or 5 colors and fresh clean jigs – no undercoat.

I use clearcoat mostly for mixing with other colors and sometimes for an overcoat for saltwater jigs. For small and ultra lite jigs use fingernail polish or epoxy for an overcoat.

Mix almost all my paints now – color wheel is a great tool.

Heat gun is the best way to produce a safe consistent heat source.


Jigs painted with 4 and 5 different colors.

LedHed I still love that bass colored ultra minnow you made or me several years back.

BTW I paint my jigs similar to the way LedHed does and it is a good proven system if you know how to blend and mix 4 or 5 different colors.

Also LedHed mentioned that I have lots of powder paint. I am trying to consolidate everything and start cleaning my shop. I have roughly 1500 pounds of powder paint in different colors.

Skip please tell me where to post the powder paint as I would like to sell much of it off..................Thanks
