zip pow Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Any good tips on what type paint to respray crankbait with tried some with little to no luck I bought a anthem airbrush gun its awful picky about how thick your paint is any tips or words of advice is greatly appreciated thanks in advance Quote
BobP Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 The critical part in painting a crankbait is not the paint but the clear topcoat you apply over the paint. Most painters use water based acrylic airbrush paints and cover it with either epoxy or a very durable urethane like an auto clearcoat or a moisture cured urethane. Unless you are getting into painting as a continuing hobby or business, epoxy is the cheapest choice. Quote

That's what I was wondering I used water based paint didn't know if I should find some oil to spray with or not I'll try the epoxy and see how well I can do thanks for the input Quote
