Bigfish, ya just gave the sequence
I turn the plug and sand to a grit of 320 then I seal with Zinser clear sealer. I dip the plugs, making sure the sealer get in all the holes and the wire channel. Scuff with 400 after it is fully dried. Primer can be all sorts of stuff depoending on what you want out of the final product. Sometimes I prime with a black base coat. This is when I use the Createx Chameleon paint. This stuff shifts colors depending on the viewing angle. You can also use the Chameleon over metallic or pearl base coats. The effect is subtle but very effective. All the base coats and top coats are airbrushed. I set the Createx paints with a heatgun or a hairdryer and allow to dry for a day or two before doing my epoxy clear coats.
I put the through wire and swivels in place but wait till the plug is clear coated to put the hooks on.
There you have it!
