Found some Info using the search but I still need to ask. Does Spraying powder paint work well for multi-colors on spoons, spinner blades and lead head jigs. What are the options for srayguns and which ones can be used for finer detail. I don't think spraying powder will come close to the detail of an airbrush but would like to know if there is a unit that could be adjusted for finer work.

Have you tried powder water from columbia coatings I have never been any good with powder paint until I found this I can do multi color jigheads splatter colors and I even painted some very thin on spinnerbait blades it really works and you can do superfine detail without airbrush and laquer or epoxy coatings afterwards just bake in the oven 350degrees for 15-20 and its bullet proof I bought some powder from them also and its much better than cs coatings and you can get any kind of colors not just the basics anymore

How does it work. Mix powder paint with the fluid then brush on?

[airbrushextreme]

Yes or the airbrush . I also bought about 50 colors of powder too it is a lot cheaper than cs coatings and twice as much product and it is very simple to use it turns powder paint into liquid like magic I was leary at first and just bought 4oz I end up buying a gallon it makes fine intricate work effortless I I just finished some custom blader tonight white chart tips, white pink tips, chartreuse blue tips,transparent chartreuse,chart orange tips, white chart scale, crystal mud craw and delta red craw they baked up really nice and looked factory or professional compared to most I tried to chip the paint off of 1 a while ago by throwing it at the concrete wall and all I did was hurt my arm it didnt chip

airbrushextreme,
This liquid sounds interesting
Can you brush it on a vertical surface without it dripping too much?
How long does it take to dry before you can handle your piece to set it up for baking?

Thanks, Scott

Mix it up thick and it will work fine the liquid evaporates out of it pretty fast but the paint stays put it doesnt drip very bad anyways

I use the site for info just like every one else does I learn a lot by reading posts on here also CADMAN made me decide to try powder coating again just by talking about columbia coatings I placed an order that day and tried it. I like it a lot better than the cs coatings or the jig armor from fishingskirts.com I never powder coated much before that because I couldnt get it to work right I am no expert by any means but I have enough 4oz bottles to start a jig factory I have done jigs spinner blades jigging spoons and some flutter spoons with great detail I will post some pics when I get my camera up and running again

Looking through some old posts I ran across the website for TJ's tackle. After watching the videos on spraying powder paint, I think I'll get the powder paint airbrush. Looks like it will work fine on spoons and blades. Has anyone Tried to modify the airbrush to spray thinner lines. I haven't seen any diferent sized orifices for sale to change the spray pattern.

I have a powder airbrush from CSI and have never tried to restrict the orifice for a finer line but have had good luck using a plastic worm inflator (the one with the little needle) filled with powder. Depending on how close to the lure you hold it and how fast you move it, makes a much finer, crisper line than the airbrush. Make sure you pull the needle out of the blower bottle and reverse it so the squared off end is doing the dispensing.

I use an iwata eclipse with a preset handle and can paint pencil sized lines on blades and spoons the powder water thins to about the viscosity of thin createx and paints just like createx or auto air I just finished an order of 50 spoonplugs for a local spoonpluggers convention/meeting

I use the Iwata eclipse with a .5 needle and it works wonders with the powder paint mixed with powder water from columbia coatings I use 45 psi and it works better than standard paint I use paashe color cups with this gun instead of bottles

Hey airbrush,
which eclipse model is it? the 4200 model? There are a couple of different elcipse models
thanks

[orionn1]

How do you tell what the colors really look like from columbia coatings. There swatches are just kind of generic. Did you just take a guess? I am looking for I guess your standard colors , Red ,orange, white, yellow, etc? I would like to try their illusion colors and flourescent too but they don't really show.
regards
robery

[airbrushextreme]

their colors are kind of self explanatory the flourescents are great and the illusion colors are great I use the copper ,candy yellow and lollipop red over chrome or gold blades I use the texture and elegant colors the metallic chrome and gold are great for jigs as well as lead jigging spoons the iwata eclipse is the the hp-bcs standard from bear air

[wingnut]

Just wanted to post a pic of some jigs I used my powder paint airbrush on. Like a proud Pa Pa
