Mid-MO Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I bought some Tungsten weights at BPS's Spring Classic. I bought the XPS brand - they were 33% off making them quite a bit cheaper than Tru-Tungsten. Only problem is they aren't painted. I've powder painted some lead weights in the past and that didn't work too well. I've also read where some guys use fingernail polish. Anybody got any suggestions? Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 I've been spraypainting my lead sinkers for years. Quote
Mid-MO Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 What type of paint? Do you put epoxy over it? Quote
Just_Old_Fisherman Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 String several on a thin wire to hold them. Get a can of Epoxy spray paint in your favorite color and spray away. Can use the wire to hang them by while they dry. Being stacked on the wire, the holes don't get all clogged. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Will spraypaint work on tungsten though? I've got a few of those XPS weights. Powder paint def. won't work (without melting the insert). Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted March 4, 2008 Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Tungsten is hard, spray paint chips off very easy. I just did abunch of bullet weights last night with the powder coating. spraying lead seems to work good, but don't look as good as powder coating. Quote
jrhennecke Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I use the fingernail polish on the lead and tungsten with no problem. I use a color first and then a clear. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I use a permanent marker for the color and then a clear coat of nail polish Quote
