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

It won't stick, a 250* is about as low of a temp that you can get the PP to stick to the jig... and it will be a thin coat, the problem is that the thinner the coat is.. the more the lead will "shine through".

Oooooh that's what I want. I'm putting it on a ultra minnow and want some of the detail to shine though

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.

i dip my jigs cold in powder paint and then using a heat gun barly heat them up dipping them little by little till i get my look im going for. but,yes powder paint dont like cold surfaces if u can invest in a heat gun worth ever penny in the long run i dont waste hardly any powder paint and super quick and easy to use IMOP :)

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.
