Hey!

There are a lot of options for painting lead. One of the toughest (durable) options, admittedly, is powder paint. For those applications where the colors of powder paint are acceptable, they are what I would suggest - pretty odd to hear that from the guy who makes Fishermun's Lure Coat, huh? Just honest, I guess.

We all want the products we use to be as effective as possible, so in those instances where you find that you need fluorescent (day glow) or luminescent (night glow) finishes, or if you want to put a transparent color over another one, then lacquers are the way to go - but there is a drawback: they chip and scratch more easily.

If you use a lacquer (like ours), you should top-coat it with a clear coat. While a clear lacquer is used by many, you will find that most of the tackle manufacturers use something a little tougher - like a polyurethane. Clear lacquers chip just as easily as the colors. Something that contains UV protection and chip and scratch resistance will increase the life of the paint job quite a bit.

If you are using Lure-Coat, our top coat is polyurethane and and is compatible with our paints. Epoxies will also work, but are a bit more messy and have a lot more waste.

Keep fishin'!
