xllund Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I have some older baits that I want to repaint. Most are plastic body with some sort of clear coat (auto-urethance, or epoxy, not sure) If I sand the exterior of the bait with an something abrasive (sand paper,etc) can I then shoot the bait with some primer and prepare it for painting? Do I need to sand the bait down to the original plastic? Thanks for all your help during the year folks!! Have a great holiday season!

Guest Anonymous Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Make sure that you do not use a solvent based primer as this will open your sanding groves (no matter how fine) and exagerate them. Also use the finest grit possible and work back to a very smooth finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
out2llunge Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I've done some old believers before and had mixed results. I think it depends on the brand of spray paint you use. I used the Home Depot brand recently and it worked great - without priming even. In the past I had nothing but trouble no matter what I did. Experiment first!
