CountryKat Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Does anyone here airbrush the component systems vinyl paint to there spinnerbait bodies. I just got a Paashe air brush but am having some troubles using it. I also read in a post a few line down that another person is having airbrush issues too. I'm sure I am speaking for both of us, any help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickerel Pete Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 It can be used in airbrush with the proper thinner. Fumes are not good to breath and it will plug up your air brush in a hurry. Down time for cleaning brush is a pain. Better off to use water based paints and seal with epoxy top coat. All of these colourscan be found in water based paints.

CountryKat Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 The epoxy finish won't lift the water based paint? Do you have a few suggestions for paint and finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I use Createx but have used some of the cheaper Wal-Mart brands. The Createx is an excellent paint. Buy the 2 Ton Epoxy from Wal-Mart. It's in the home paint section, comes in a tube that mixes the correct amount of hardener for you. Make sure you get the 30 minute Epoxy. Thin it a little with alcohol. Provides a tough slick finish.

Richoc Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I spray it only if needed. Not the best way,to go. wastes tons of thinner to do it and will melt your brain faster than needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayooper Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 CSI now makes a water based lure and jig paint in all the colors that their vinyl paint comes in. I have just received some to try, but have not tried it yet. You have to ask for it since it is not listed in their catalog yet. Oder is much less than the vinyl paint. According to the guy I ordered from, it is suppose to be just as tough as the vinyl and easier to clean up.
