speaking of dipping, I found this can of some black exterior oil based super paint and figured I'd try dipping a plug in it just to see how it worked. No sealing, no clear or primer, just the paint.
did a 40 made from ayc I think, took over a week to dry

guess I should have thinned it. Finish has held up pretty good though.
