we posted this picture is to show you what vinyl paint looks like over power paint we have clear coat vinyl over-the-powder painthttp://i593.photobucket.com/albums/t...fish/22001.jpg[/IMG]. As you noticed it makes the 3-D eyes pop out more distinctive also look at the body the way it looks you will notice the way that the vinyl paint will make it blend in the colors.
beautiful looking jig.
Have done that a lot Bob. I usually put clear nail polish over the heads when I paint eyes, but on a couple colors it is not good (FL yellow & Chart) so I started using clear vinyl over them and does a good job. I just paint it on with a brush and it levels well enough you can't tell the difference.

Looks nice!
thanks guys skip I put the whole jig in the vinyl clearcoat I like the fact when I do it this way and I definitely like what it does to the 3-D eyes.
Does it peel off or anything bad that you have noticed.
The only difference is I coat the entire head except for the eyes and still get the same finish as dipping it. I just don't see the need to clean the eye out again and no need to with a brush and I can get it as thick as I need or want it. No real difference in that and dipping for the important things and I don't need to worry about the drip from the dip.Quote:

It looks great but I'm trying to figure out how u did that. It looks like you tied it first then powder dipped it. I'm going by the thread having the same color. Also I'd like to ask you, are you using two hackle feathers per jig?
sorry about not getting back to you sooner we actually use 4 feathers and tie them on and then power paint the whole works is a little tricky because if you do not tie it off right your thread will come on down because of that heat from the gun. I like making these jigs because they are bulletproof.Quote:
