Hi folks I decided to try some of that powder paint and wanted to tell ya'll it works great. I got Pro-Tec. Definately beats the old dip bottles. www.csipaint.com

I love the stuff. I have ordered it in bulk and let me tell you it last for a very long time, is a very smooth coating once you get used to coating with it and the color is unbeatable.

I am looking to get some of the glow in the dark soon to try it for night fishing with spinners and jigs for steelhead.

Hello D.B and welcome to the NAFC.
I have been using the Pro Tec powder coat for years now.
The Pro Tec powder coat will give you a glossy finish and it holds up pretty good for a one step application.If you make a lot of Jigs,I would recomend you give it a try.

I was wondering, how do you put on the eyes?

Hey y'all,
Hand paint or stick on, and the latter doesn't last long.

You can hand paint with powder?

You can't do the eyes Pete. You heat the jighead with a lighter for a while and then dip it in the powder. If the finish isnt smooth right off just give it a little touch with the lighter again and it'll smooth right up

Ok, then you hand paint with regular jig paint for the eyes? Or ya can't have eyes at all?
