I am making some pinkie style hair jigs 1/16 oz. from a collins mold, and am trying to decide what kind of paint to use. Vinyl liquid paint gives exellent results, but the shelf life is pretty short. Have used powder alot too, but I think I can get a better look by using a liquid paint on this tied jig, and dip it down till it covers the thread behind the head, thus giving a cleaner look. My question is, have any of you used lurecoat by dick nite? It's a laquer paint I think. Also, has anyone used the liquid paint that barlows sells, by the name, tamiya, or something like that? It also comes in a spray can, which would cause me to have to tape up the hooks before spraying. I really like the powder paints, but they are not as vibrant as a liquid, in some colors. anyone have any input?
