making the switch

Recommended Posts

You might want to try getting some solvent based pigments and mix your own paints. The specialty paint store in my town gave me 4 oz. of every color of pigment they had. I bought some 4oz. leak proof HDPE bottles and they worked great. Then get a quart of quality clear lacquer paint and mix what ever you want.

I have enough pigments to paint 5000+ crankbaits.

I didn't ask to get it free, they just gave it to me.

Find a body shop/car dealership in your area and ask them about their excess paint, most likely this will be of the basecoat/clearcoat variety. Which you can thin the basecoat colors with lacquer thinner, urethane clear and lacquer clear will topcoat these base coat colors nicely! It is imperative that you use a respirator while shooting basecoat and do so in a well ventilated area, if not a booth of some such. Free Paint!
