Thread: Stardust painted jigs

I got 9 colors and started painting some test heads to get the kinks out and figure out the best way to do it. Heat the first head with my trusty Bic lighter and tried a 3 color combo. When i went to reheat head with lighter it burnt the bottom paint so now I use my butane torch for the final melting. I baked the first 18 in the oven thinking it might smooth out texture even more and it did but heads were duller so no baking required. Brushes I use don't hold much of the stardust so have to dip brush a few times to get enough paint where I want it. Definitely has a learning curve. Second jig I tried clearing the hook eye while head was warm and peeled the whole jig off so you do need to dip heads in water to cool them down. Mixed a couple colors and really like those. Mixed white/stone camo/ glow white together and really like how it turned out. They actually glow brighter than Pro tec. Second batch was some 3/32 walleye heads, these turned out nice. It is a slower process, I can paint 5 or 6 jigs of my paints to 1 of these but overall like the results.

I likes those!
