[cool][#0000ff]Most tackle crafters find that spray painting is wasteful and messy...for jig heads or sinkers. I hand paint mine. Not that time consuming and it allows more creative colors and designs. And sometimes a good complimentary or contrasting sinker or jighead can improve the effectiveness of the worm or trailer.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You know where I live. I would be happy to help you paint up some of your stuff to show you how it is done. The glitter is the tricky part. You mix the dry glitter into clear gloss vinyl jig paint...not the final epoxy coat. And proper thinning is important.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Attaching a page from one of my TackleCraft chapters. Shows the options and suggests ideas. I prefer the vinyl paints because they do not chip off easily...as you have found. But I always finish them with the 2 part clear epoxy. That also helps keep them from being dissolved by the plastic solvents.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sportsmans carries most of the colors, the clear and the thinner in CS Coatings vinyl jig paints. Also available from Cabelas, Janns and Barlows.[/#0000ff]
