Powder Paint question

Hello All

I just bought two jars or Pro Tec and have a question after attempting to coat some jigs. The two colors I purchased was White Pearl and Watermelon Pepper. The White seems to work great no issue with that, however the watermelon Pepper I am having some problems with. I am using a heat gun to heat the jig and then simple shaking the jar and level it off and dunking the jig in and tapping to get the excess off. Then I simply wave it over the heat gun to ensure all the power is melted. When the jig dries it is essentially black with only a single area or two with what I would call green with black flakes. Is there some type of trick or suggestion anyone has for me to get this to work like it is suppose to, green with black flecks. I tried about 12 jigs last night and can not get it right, I am using a do-it minnow head mold so I got this color to match the local bait fish in the ponds that I fish.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you overheating the jig when you heat it the second time? I just coat it the first time and then cure it in a toaster oven for the final cure. Haven't tried that color so I don't have any inside scoop.

yep to much heat i had the same thing it is sucking the other colors and only the darkest is coming out heat the jig just so the powder will stick then cure at 325 for 20 min they will shine

The orginal heat with a heat gun should take about four or five seconds at the most.

Don't level it just fluff the paint with you're bodkin up try a bic lighter put the head in the middle of the flame 3 seconds dip it shake the excess off should work for you.
