Painting jigs?

[KeepItReel]

I've got some jigs that I bought a while back and are colors that don't seen to produce. Was thinking about painting them with some glow and other colors that seem to work better here. Anyone try this?

I paint a lot of my jigs...... most of them just just black stripes or completely back. use 4 or 5 clear coats and the colours will last for a long time

Krylon color and clear coat.

Is there a good glow paint available?
Do you sand them down at all prior to painting?

Mozza, I've seen your jigs and they look good. What type of clear coat are you using? Thanks

I give them a light sand with 200 wet and dry if I am only masking over the original colours otherwise sand the whole thing back and primer it for a better lasting paint job...... Mind you "better lasting paint job" and fish that eat jigs don't go too well together

I use a 2pac polyurethane and usually do 6-10 coats to really make them shine and protect the paint.

Mag wheel polyurethane in a spray can also works but doesnt get the finish of the 2pac but still works well.

Lumo paint is usually quite expensive and quite gluggy. fish like black

If you can find pictures of jigs painted by Jimi from Kapiti here in NZ he is the guru at painting them......
