    Default dipping in a can of enamel PAINT ?


    I saw a guy on youtube who just dipped his bass jigs in it and hung them up, took like 10 seconds a jig, has anyone done this?

    thanks!

    Have put them in a paper bag sprayed enamel in closed bag shake. Does also cover hooks eyes stay pretty clear. Usually a quick on the parking lot deal.

    I never had much success doing that. I kept getting drips and plugging the eyes plus it chipped easily so I switched to powder paint.

    Powder paint is cheap and effective. Never saw a need to try and work around it.

    Powder is the best and easiest way to pain your heads and is the way I do most of my heads. Other than that some use Vinyl paint, but it needs a white undercoat and some drying time for each coat. If you want it shiny then there is a 3rd coat and that is the clear, but it's very tuff finish. Have known a few guys that use Vinyl by dipping the heads, but I didn't like that way. I do like the vinyl though, but I use a hobby paint brush.

    Tried vinyl once and went back to powder. I couldn’t argue with success.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
