Thread: Jighead paint

Fluid bed??

A "fluid bed" is a nice little contraption that allows air to be pushed through powder paint making it like a "fluid". Makes for even coverage of paint. It's fast and easy. Check out SK's youtube vid on painting jigs and how to build one.

This is gonna be my first attempt using enamel paint. I was checking powder coat paint before but it is quite a step and equipments. I know powder coat would last longer but this will be use as my casting jig and occasionally hopping on the bottom so I hope it would last me long enough.

Fingernail polish works better then the enamel paint set. No base coat, cheaper and less clean up.

Thanks for all the feedback ! Glad I found this site. You guys are great ! I took long trip to Idaho had no cell service in the mountains. I sure missed keeping up on everything on here. Sure do learn alot.

dollar tree with the big glitter is good and I like the bright orange and the hot pink .
a jigs life span isn't terribly long and to create a work of art and lose it first drop is a bit disheartening
I tried powder painting some and thought it isn't any faster or easier for me and again I say this about that
nail polish

Honestly I am all about Revlon nail polish from Wally World and then hard as nails over it. maybe glitter if I feel fancy, but I gave up on that. Seriously, I am trying g to catch fish, not fishermen and the fish don't care as they have only a few seconds to see the jig anyway. No heat gun or oven.
I spend the money on Crystal Flash and tinsel, rabbit strips and rubber legs. The fish is just going to notice the head's color, the rest is the action of the body. YMMV.

I’ve bought fingernail polish at dollar store, Walmart and Five Below. Five Below has some really cool metallic and funky colors for cheap if your looking for something besides plain color. Tons of choices in fingernail polish but pay no attention to the look people give you when you shop and buy it.....lol.
