Scorcher214 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I got a couple of spinnerbaits that have just silver lead head and was wondering what I would use to color them. Also, should I just make all of em white or should i color them based on the skirt? Quote
cadman Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 If you only have 2 and you're not too picky just paint them with model paint like Testors, or you can use nail polish and that will seal them in good. Color is a personal choice. I like to match mine with the skirt. If you have powder paint or an airbrush you can use that as well. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 I've got some decon 2-ton epoxy, could I use that to seal them as well? Also, there are 5 that i need to do but i think painting them will be fine Quote
backwater4 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Like Cadman said. Also you could use vinyl paint. A couple of coats over a white base and your good to go. I also like to match the heads to the skirt, but I've caught tons of fish on an all white spinnerbait as well. Quote
detroit1 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I kinda go against the grain as far as head color goes. I don't care if it has any or not. I used to paint mine (airbrush) and then seal with 2 - ton. For the last 4 years i leave them raw with no different results. Same with jigheads. I won't paint again unless i'm bored some winter.... Quote
Scorcher214 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Nail polish from the dollar store works great and is durable. ...Bill Lol, ya, thats what I am gonna go with. but I'm sure I'm gonna get some looks when I'm buying several things of nail polish haha Quote
Vodkaman Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Lol, ya, thats what I am gonna go with. but I'm sure I'm gonna get some looks when I'm buying several things of nail polish haha When I bought my hair dryer, it was so funny watching the sales girl trying not to laugh, especially when I stroked my bald head.

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 28, 2011 Super User Posted May 28, 2011 Lol, ya, thats what I am gonna go with. but I'm sure I'm gonna get some looks when I'm buying several things of nail polish haha Ahh, paint your toe nails before you go in. That'll take the curse off of it...LOL To be honest with you, I do use nail polish on spinnerbait heads if I'm only making up a few, but before I go to the store, I make sure I have a list of things to buy. That way when they start scanning things in, the nail polish get kind of lost in the mix. Oh and a line of peeps behind you always helps. They don't care what's being scanned at that point. Quote
kms399 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 get it from walmart with all the other goof balls in the place they wont even bat an eye at nail polish. Quote
