I've dipped plugs before in oil, only problem was when I went to hang them up to drip, the paint ran out the hook holes an just made more of a mess..so now I just use exterior oil poly an soak the plugs in that for a min. after that hardens I sand, prime with thinned down rustoleum flatwhite in my air brush. I can put on as many coats as I want because it drys fast..after I'm happy with the build up of the flat white, I hang for the nite to really dry hard, then scuff with a green pad an paint my colors on[oil]. then wait a few days for the oil to cure an the flumes to leach out, then comes the scuff coat of the same poly I used the seal with. then a coat of sys3 thinned with acidtone abit so as not to get a big build up of finnsh,,,,,note; we don't have rocks here, just sand. if I was doing a 50 plugs at a time I'd switch over to urathane auto paints an clear coats. or lacquer.
