No, In some instances dipping straight from the can may leave more finish on than some may desire, mostly a personal preference.
-
It could still be a contaminate affecting the paint, especially when working with enamel. Once the intial coat has dried this will offer a base for the subsquent coat to adhere to. Might be something as simple as not agitating the the spray bomb enough to thoroughly mix the paint. Which can produce the results you have mentioned.
-
Might be the surfactant action of residual detergent on the bait adversly affecting the paint. A picture would really help in determining the possible cause
-
The downside to dipping in straight lacquer? The process might deposit more product than is actually needed. to achieve a durable finish.

@Sonny, I can't say if the information you posted is correct or not. The major lure companies and many of the lesser know here in the U.S.A. a century ago were dip priming with white enamel and dip finishing with varnish or lacquer. It wouldn't be of much benefit to thin clear lacquer for finish dipping, unless you just enjoyed doing it.

Most likely the spray bomb is enamel, you can have problems with it wrinkling when another paint with solvent is applied over it. Enamel with a hardner is more forgiving when it comes to re-coating but impractical for a small number of baits. Lacquer would be your best bet if you spray bomb the basecoat. You can take a grey scotch brite and scuff the enamel after it has dried to touch doing so will promote quicker drying. Again, try lacquer if all possible.

Perform a completed auction search on Ebay that will give you a good idea as to the value.

You can use gold leaf and sizing to achieve the results you're looking for

Something that has worked well for me. Magnet from a discarded speaker to hold forceps and a drill chuck to hold exacto handles.

I can bring some painting equipment so we can get the fumes going.

Interesting article pertaining to the original post in this thread at link below http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/where-fish/2010/03/chad-love-fishing-ban-rumors-debunked

Try researching "Von Karman vortex street" should start you in the right direction. This will give you a better understanding of what forces are at play when a lure is pulled through the water

Dn shouldn't present you any problems if it is compatible with the Candy paint. A object such as a lure doesn't require the care as does a larger object such as an auto. Where you should thin the candie more so than normal paint and apply more coats. This is done to prevent spots that are darker areas because of inconsitent spraying. If you try to apply in a few coats you will find out how well you apply paint lor not. The urethanes are more forgiving than the lacquers and enamels.
-
I would try applying less DN on each coat. Keeping the bait wet by re-brushing the same area will most likely cause the finish to dry faster. By constantly brushing the finish you are re-flowing the skin on the finish wich allows the solvents to evaporate faster. The amount of solvent within the finish doesn't increase or dry slower because of repeated brushing.

Belated as it maybe, Happy Bday! Yes, I will drink a flagon or two in honor of you making it another year!

Hit up the body shops for old paint most of them throw it away. A few baits will get you enough paint to finish thousands of lures.

Bassman, The Missouri Get Together is a annual meet held in Clinton, MO. Fellow plug makers sharing ideas, techniques and methods of lure construction, swapping plugs, breaking bread, B.S. and beer! Nathan Bettencourt and his wife Debbie host the event at their residence. Yes, be there you won't regret it. Regards Dan

Clamboni, didn't know if you were aware of the ramifications of wd-40 contamination, not good and a little can go a long ways.

WD-40 AND WET PAINT = Big Fisheyes

Funny Gene! How unfortunate, Phil and Pete, was looking forward to seeing you gents again! Ted, I hope you can make it!

I am planning to attend!

You might consider viewing the closed auctions on Ebay to give you some idea as to the value.

That would be a could solution to the problem.. Especially if the plunger seal doesn't degrade.
-
Tanslucent paint can give the finish an added dimension by staging effects within the layers of paint.. It will in some instances present a new color if shot over another color.
