cold dip Powder paint ?
I was thinking... Whick is scarey... Can you dip your jig in the powder paint cold then heat it in the toaster oven? I epoxy my heads any way so durability isn't a big deal. I just want as thin of a coat as possible. Thanks

If you want really nice detailed painted jigs, use transparent colors or blade dip. You can't beat it for good color saturation. Also paint your jigs right after pouring, this will yield the most brilliance. Finally you can clearcoat a jig right after pouring and if you have the right lead mix, the jig will look like bright chrome.

Ditto Cadman
Try the brush technique or invest in translucent (candy colors) PP. Holographic glitter with a super mirror clear really works on the minnow head.
The only way you can apply PP “cold” is by electrostatic charging the jig – the paint would stick to the entire jig.
