how many jigs can i paint with one coat of pro tec powder paint? thanks
Are you asking how many jigs a certain sized container will cover?
yes if i am using 1/32 oz and 1/16 oz jigs, how many can i paint with one 2 oz. container? roughly
im also trying to decide what colors to get. i want to keep things simple. i can tie bodys any color i want. im def getting chartruse, but i need one other color. dont know what to get?
Don't know but I have a jar of yellow Chartruse that's probably painted 1000 or more and still got plenty left. Since I just do them for myself I have colors I'll never use up.
Floro Pink or Orange or both. Once you get started it will be hard to not buy some more.Quote:

I have found the chartuse and the orange is my number one color, and I have painted over a thousand 1/16 and 1/8 and still have over half a bottle left...... I have every color they make, and do some pink once inawhile...... last a long time, some I bought back when they were $3.99 ea and still nice and dry and ready to use... black,white, green, blue,red..... maybe even a color I have forgot, but never used some of them yet....and I never bake my finish, figure I might lose it before it comes off..... and use a heat gun to heat my jig to dip, but keep jar close so lead doesn't cool off before dipping......

Survey says...... THREE! Just kidding. It is a lot is all i can say.
I think anyone's best guess is "a bunch" I don't make as many jig heads as some of the others, I doubt I've made 2000 yet, but of all the colors I use, I've barely made a dent in the jars of colors I have used with a fluid bed.
a lot,i haven't done anywhere near as much painted heads as other people on here,and have not even put a dent in the containers of powder paints i have
We paint tens of thousands of several different colors every year and it is hard to say how many 2oz will paint but with the use of a fluid bed which will produce a thinner coat i'd venture to guess it would paint 5000 of the smaller jigheads and you would have some left over.In the clear water you fish i'd look into getting some pro tech pearl pepper,sapphire blue and dragonfly all great clear water colors.
That like asking "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop." No one knows no one has ever kept up with it and then wandered how many jigs they have painted Good question
