Looking For Better White Primer On Lead

Recommended Posts

Been using rustoleum metal primer, but seems to come off easy.  Also spray can

enamels don't stick to lead jigs that well.  Any suggestions on a more durable

white primer?  i'm using color pigments in etex over the primer.  Also tried soak lead

jigs in vinegar before priming, but doesn't seem to make any difference.  Thanks in advance.

Buy some self etching primer. They make a gray and a white color. Once applied over a freshly poured jig, this stuff rarely comes off and is easy to paint afterwards. I used to use it for powder painting. The primer really adheres to the jig, and then the powder paint really grips the primer. When you work with the primer, cleanliness on all aspects gives the optimum results. The jig must be free from grease/oil preferably freshly poured, then wear gloves to the keep oils from your fingers from getting onto the clean jig. Tape all exposed areas not to be painted , and then spray several coats. let dry between coats. The primer I used was sold by NAPA. See pic below.
