painting redfins

[massbassman]

having never painted them, that was my first concern, do they need to be primed?. i like the sharpie idea DZ, great advice as usual. im going to paint some as soon as i order a few from the Edge. i try not to get caught up too much in the whole color thing, but that just seems to be a color i do well with. maybe ill paint a few extras black, and do a little comparison some night.

fusion is made for plastic and no primer needed.....you may not like the colors that fusion comes in....you may find a better purple color with the reg krylon paint....if you like a bright purple you can use fusion white base coat and then reg krylon purple on bottom half and reg krylon black top half.........remember any color over a black base coat will be darker....i like a brighter purple so you get 2 different shades on the plug...dark/light probly matters more to us than the fish lol

My BIL is a store manager at a Sherwin Williams. I had a bunch of plastic stuff to paint and he got me on the Fusion rattle cans. According to him, the paint chemically binds with the plastic, hence the "Fusion" name.

I painted some road cases that get beat to hell on a regular basis and the paint has held up better than I could have expected.

I know just about every Sherwin Williams should have them. The brand name is KRYLON® FUSION. I think places like Sears and Walmart also carry it. Amazon also has it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...hestoespmak-20
