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

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

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.
