ptrfishing Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm trying to figure out to do the jig paint job on the left in the attached pic. Found this jig in one of my boxes, don't know where I got it, and really like the paint. Bought some Boss Jig Armor green pumpkin crustacean (on the right in pic), and it isn't even close. Hard to see in the pic I know, but does anyone have an idea what kind of powder paint this might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 are those reflections in the one on the left? or is it a marble like finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrfishing Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Not reflections. It is actually veiny......and slightly textured. Veins are either black or dark brown. Main jig color is a version of green pumpkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretcher66 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 or possibly check out the hammer tone powders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of blew by the fishingskits Illusion paint and foundation, thinking it would be more like an anodized metal look with black spots.....and with limited color options. Maybe I'm just not thinking out of the box on this yet????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 there are actually quite a few options of powder to try, there are transparents as well if you want to get real creative. check out prismatic powders and powder by the pound... and there are others as well.

cadman Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 It is a brown veined powder paint. If you know who made the jig, ask them for the paint manufacturer. If you don't know who made the jig, there area lot of companies that sell veined powder. The most common is a one step process, where you put paint on the jigs and the heat will activate the paint and make it crack. Stay away from two part processes, as they are a P.I.T.A and very expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Go to Barlows and look at their "double trouble" powder paint, they don't have that color but they do have a green that I intend to get the next time I place an order. The picture you have there looks to be a hammertone finish as it not only has veins but also texture, I'm betting the company that made that jig had that color custom made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
