Learn the secrets to preparing your lure, plug, or jig for a top quality, lasting paint job. Find out why paint can fail if the surface is not prepped to make a tight bond. The spray gun I use for Gesso: www.harborfreight.com/quick-c...
Thanks for sharing! Never heard of Gesso. I've shot guitars and motorcycles, and found that Binz Primer/Sealer, found at Lowes and Home Depot, worked great as a foundation. It's shellac based, and everything seems to stick well to it, plus it comes in an aerosol can. Duplicolor Adhesion Promotr also works well, and dries clear.
Thanks for the video brother! Just gave about 35 cranks and poppers a bath in warm water and dawn. About to start shooting em' with my Iwata and my Badger. Cheers dude!
Chris, what a delight to find someone doing similar fly tying lure building, painting etc. In MN, lots of warm water fishing. Gesso is a great tip. Researched it some...see that have sandable gesso. Looks great for cork bass bugs. Have you used sandable gesso? Also have you use gesso as a primer sealer for vinyl painted jigs?
I have not tried the sandable, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use regular on lead jigs that I am going to paint, so it should work under vinyl.
What lure bodies were you using in the demonstration video and where can they be purchased? I am more interested in the diving baits vs the top water poppers. Thanks and I enjoyed the video!
There is a large selection on ebay that are direct from the manufacturers in China. Great baits, low prices, and they arrive in about a week with free shipping.
Thanks so much for your help and kindness. The mini-gun practically is a "fead bottom airbrush" that can spry more dense paint than traditional airbrush, am I right? Thanks
@@lannabulls Yes. It has a bigger capacity and larger nozzle that most air brushes have so it can spray more dense paints, and also paints with additives like glitter or mica powder.
Thanks so much Chris!Unfortunately I can't buy it, I'm living in Thailand, that website doesn't ship here, only USA and a few other countries. I look after this mini-gun in eBay, Amazon, they ship here however I can't find it, thanks anyway, you're help is really appreciated!
Hello there, will this acrylic base coat work with a water based paint on top? Just want to make sure because I use all water based paints for my lures
That is the million dollar question on the bait painting group sites. A lot of painters use Alumilite products. I am a fan of Component Systems Seal Coat. It is a water based polyurethane product that doesn't smell or need a thinner cleanup.
