Thanks to RG for the painting with crinkle I was able to paint some awesome jigs. I had been doing it all in one step with ok results but found that once you dip in crinkle no more heat on the jig until curing in the oven. Jig will look shiny to flat color but when you cure it in the oven the colors appear. Here are a few favorites I made yesterday.Attachment 400173Attachment 400174Attachment 400175Attachment 400176Attachment 400177Attachment 400178
Oh yeah, now that's the results we like seeing. Awesome paint!
Very nice work!!
Congratulations....you got what you wanted. I might order me some of that there crinkle paint and give it a go myself. I want to get that alligator look.
There ya go!
Been speaking to several people about this in the last week and can’t remember who with but we discussed trying it this way. Going to have to give it a try.
Very nice work.
How hot are you curing at?
Been experimenting between 300-350. A few started to develop a small cone head look, no way I'm cooking it at 400. Keep an eye on them because they start changing in just a few minutes and they are finished in 10-15 minutes. The silver is working best, the other three colors might need a higher temp or bake longer in the oven. This paint is addicting, need to start using some.
Strange. I’ve tried silver 4 times and each time with several jigs done several ways, colors, fluid bed, no fluid bed etc. Can’t get it to turn but barely in spots. I’ve baked for 320 up to 45 minutes and each time increases temp to even 420 for 15 minutes. Some jigs I dipped hot enough turned silver and some to where they were powder finish. What’s strange none dripped or melted even up to that hot. Maybe I need to get base coat on thicker. Some of the results and all come out looking like this.

It could be the colors you are using as your basecoat. Some colors show through better. Try starting with white as a base coat before dipping in the color you want and then the crinkle paint. I'm heating my head with a bic lighter then dipping in white then dip in a color like chartreuse and then the silver crinkle. I'm only heating my head one time dipping it in two colors and brush tapping on one or two more colors on some before the final dip into the crinkle.
I called you while you were baking and the results as you said are spectacular! we shall see soon how the fish like them! WTG Jim these are almost too pretty to use for fishing!
Maybe so. I was starting to think because I don’t use the 100% pure lead. I’ll get back out in the garage later and fiddle with it some more. Talk about a rabbit hole.Quote:

Paint colors come out when put in the oven. Color starts coming through after a few minutes, ready to take out after 10-15 minutes. Just ordered more silver, 4 oz. I am using a regular oven, no toaster oven. Unsure how accurate temps are but 325 is a good place to start for me, believe temps are hotter than what the digital display shows.
Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.....

Finally got some to work.
Nice looking paint jobs. To avoid problems with cone heads hang your jigs in oven with the head up, excess paint will run down the hook shank.
