That looks pretty good to me. DrNip does awesome work. So does JungleJim. Check out his videos and see if they help.
Jungle Jim Jigs - YouTube
I’ve watched Jim’s videos as well. Only problem is, from the ones I’ve watched, you don’t see him finishing them out. No disrespect to him, he’s obviously got it down and I’ve bought several jigs from. He does awesome work. I did send him a PM asking for help. I do t sell jigs, what I paint is for me and my buddies to fish with.Quote:

I have yet to endeavor in actually using painting with the powder paint, However, there was someone having trouble with it and was told to put the oven ready jigs in a cold oven, then turn on to the temp and time needed...not to pre-heat oven then put the jigs in...
I’m having similar problems. When I have more time I’m going to experiment some more.
Looks like you dipped in chartreuse and finished with the crinkle. For those colors try crinkle first then the chartreuse or dip in chartreuse and brush tap the crinkle if you want more chartreuse to show. Chartreuse green is one of the colors that seems to absorb colors like white or yellow, candy color paints seem to work better. I bake my heads at 350 and start with a cold oven always. Bake for 15 minutes once temps reach 350. My painting skills are much better than my video skills for sure, didn't know how to put finished jig pics in after baking them.
There is nothing wrong with the way it looks. Looks like a pretty good job to me.
Looks fine but color has little difference in most cases to Crappie IMO.
I may have figured it out. Attachment 494599

Icehouse what did you do to get that effect those are slick!
Ok, I used info from Dr Nip video and info from JungleJim in this thread, but I wasn’t getting the looks that they were getting. So, I decided it’s time to either waste some jigs or figure out something.
1) heat the jig ( based on weight, different times)
2) dip in main color ( small ones were white, multi color was hot pink.
3) on multi color jig, I dipped top of jig in green chartreuse
4) dip once in Clear coat ( Dr Nip uses from video)
5) put back on heat for 5 count. I use a heat gun
6) dip in clear coat a 2nd time
7) dip in crinkle paint.
As suggested by Jim, I let my toaster oven cool down to around 150-200. Put my jigs on my homemade holder and placed them in the oven. Turned on heat element and when I reach’s 350, I set my timer for 15 mins.
So far, it’s working great. Only color I’m still having problems with is red! I’ll figure something out on that, hopefully.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
CDC is great!

There is, in my opinion, a bit of difference that has not been mentioned in any video or thread on the internet. I'm sure it plays into the equation somehow, and that is Humidity. The more moisture in the air would effect the powder paint...
Good stuff! I like using my heat gun for tearing effect as I can control the tears how I like. Letting oven do it and you never know what you’ll get. Also a note, might be the clear you are using. That prismatic powder clear I use is different than protec. Seems fluffier and you get a shinier coat.
I am using the prismatic clear you that mentioned in your video.Quote:

Are you heating jig to tear paint while it is still warm or did you let the jig cool. When you let the jig cool, I found it won’t tear as much.Quote:

I do not put any additional heat on jigs after dipped in crinkle paint. They go in greyish silver

Right now I’m playing around the timer. Painting 1/16 this morning and may run a batch at about 10 mins to see effects.

No I get how you are doing it now, I meant my way. After you dipped in crinkle did you use the heat gun on jig while it was still warm or did you let cool? Was trying to figure out why my method didn’t work for you. Either way, looks like you got it.
Still warm.

Those are some sweet looking jigs. Trying new things and getting the results you want, awesome. I've been trying new ways of painting as well. When I paint jigs now after I get the head painted with multiple colors I heat head again for 2-3 seconds and take a bodkin and swirl and cut grooves into paint before it hardens. Getting some crazy combinations doing this.
I’ve thought about trying the swirl technique. Baby steps! [emoji23][emoji23]Quote:

I’m satisfied with the green chartreuse but not with the flame red. All done at the same time the same way.
Could be oven differences! Mine came out pretty well, not perfect but pretty well.

Flame red is in the middle.

Much better than mine did. They will all catch fish though!
