    Default Painting eyes on jig heads


    I powder coat my heads. What type of paint do you use to paint the eyes.

    Please tell me KYLON, RUST OLEUM I cannot find any other type of paint around here. I think someone said vinyl but who makes it?

    I have been using the stick on eyes but that’s getting to be a hassle.

    Thanks

    I think I have heard many of 'em on here say they use fingernail polish in various colors... but I'm sure you could use any type of oil-based enamel.

    I use the 97 cent a bottle enamel craft paint from Wal-Mart and clear coat with Sally Hanson's hard as nails.

    Use a small drill bit with a flat end, dip in paint and apply to jig head. Smaller drill bit for the pupil.

    Exactly how I use to do it when I was tying. You can do many thousands of jigs with that bottle of paint.
