Rocketman, I start with the plug body sanded down to 220 grit. I then prime with Kilz, let it dry for a day or two then when dry lightly scuff the primer with 000 scotch brite pad. I use createx paints with the airbrush. If painting with a yellow or a white pearl I apply a coat of base coat white, these colors don't cover very well so the base coat helps alot. After I get the plug painted I let it dry for a day. I then spray it with Spar urethane for a scratch coat. This coat must be totally dry before epoxying. After it has hanging for a day I scuff it with the scotch brite again. I then wire the plug, install grommets, lip, eyes etc. Then I will apply the enviro-tex. let it dry for 2 or 3 days and put hooks on. Done
