Sorry for bringing this back from the "dead".

I'm getting ready to start finishing some spinnerbaits I've poured and was curious and wanted to get a pro's opinion on this.

If I were to powdercoat my bait solid white, then airbrush (normal Createx) some custom colors and patterns, give a quick bake to set the color and then powercoat a clear on top of the airbrush ... would the paint make it ?

I want to try it but all I have in powderpaints right now are solid colors so no way of knowing what the paint would look like underneath. Would it run under the clear or even flake/peel ?

Didn't want to start a whole thread for this ... sorry.

You will burn your Createx. You should bake your base coat then do your custom paint job and use someting like D2T to seal it all up.

Don't mean to stir the pot, but it can be done and you must be very careful.
Initially to heat the head for powder coating, I use a torch. Dip in the powder. Not necessary to bake at this time.
Spray on your Createx accent colors and let dry real well.

Now here is the tricky part.

Using a heat gun and with the head farther away from the heat gun than you would normally hold it, allow the head to heat slowly. Try to let the heat hit the powder paint more than the Createx colors, if this is possible. What you are doing is allowing the head to heat very slowly. Too much heat too quick will crack the Createx. You are going to have to experiment on how long to heat it before you dip it in the clear powder for it to stick. Once you have dipped in the clear, then bake the bait at the temp and time for the base coat color.
I have done hundreds using this method, so it does work. I don't like to do it this way because it takes so long, but the results are worth the effort. You can also add glitter to the clear powder for added effect.
Give it a try, but have patience as you will no doubt trash a few before you get all the correct timing to be successful.
Good Luck.

Thanks to both of you ... will give it a try and post some pics of my results.

Thanks
