Jig head paint?
What is best, the vinyl type head paint or the powder coat? I have been using the vinyl, and it seems to hold up pretty well, and easy to use. Is the powder harder to use and more expensive?

I use powder paint works really well. It also holds up better then vinyl paint.

powder paint all the way. But I have not found a good blood red color in powder yet. Does anyone know of one and where?

Powder is the only way to go. Less mess, better coverage, and harder finish (if you bake it). It really isn't more expensive. The powders go a long way.

if they are painted right, you never have to take the paint out of the eye.
you also don't have the smell that vinyl has either!

GANNON,
yer right !!!!!!!!!
i don't consider powder as paint..
i'll hear about that one for a while!!!!!!
IT'S A COATING
but besides that if ya go into a tackle shop and look at the jigs most of them have eyes that are full of coating or paint either way,,,,
thats the sign of a HACK
ANYONE THATS TIES/SELLS JIGS OF QUALITY NEVER EVER LEAVES THE EYE COVERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PISS POOR QUALITY = PISS POOR PERFORMANCE
