Painting Plastic Plugs
 
Just curious what the best/easiest method is. Type of paint etc?

Striperknight 11-03-2007 04:35 PM

I go to homies and get plastic primer.
Use airbrush paints and a super thin epoxy coat.

Make sure you sand it down so the paint sticks good 220 then 440

I let tobias have them. I'm such a nice guy.:usd:

I'm painting a couple of the larger x-raps. Those things cast and swim great but they don't make a black or blurple. I want a couple for a certain spot on BI. :cheers:

Luds, how did those turn out? I've been thinking about doing some in blurple myself, be interested to hear what worked or what didn't.

Those larger x-raps are nice. I used them a few times in strong currents and they hold/work nicely. I caught a couple of bass on them when the ussual stuff wasnt doin it.

save yourself abit of trouble and use wil-bond instead of sandpaper..a fast wipe and off comes the old paint and softens/etches the plastic to accept the new paint...small [black]cans at most haredware stores.

use plenty of ventilation with wil-bond
