Polycarbonate Crankbait surface prep?

Recommended Posts

It will probably stick "as is" but sanding with some 400 or 600 grit is OK too. I'm usually making a clear bait from a painted one so have sanded off the finish with 400 grit paper. It looks cloudy but turns clear as the epoxy topcoat fills in all the little sratches. So sand or no, it should be OK. BTW, I think crankbait bodies may be one several types of plastic but not polycarbonate.

I've done it both ways but prefer using the cheap paint-on glitter and thinning it with water before applying it with a brush. I can control the distribution and density of glitter much better that way, plus the glitter paint is very inexpensive and comes in a large variety of sizes and colors.
