I recently repainted a newer Grandma with spray paint. The colors actually turned out well and I am now ready to put on a top coat. I used a spray on polyurethane last month and used it at the Webster outing and found out after 5 casts that I wasn't as superfly as I thought because the waterproof top coat peeled off. My question is this, what should I use for this small project to top coat this lure? I looked at envirotec but didn't want to spend $17 for the small bottle. I just need something I can buy at a local hardware store to quickly and easily top coat this lure without worrying about turning or bubbling. Thanks
It's pricey but I have found that small Envirotex Lite kit to go a long way, many touch-ups and even complete lure sealing jobs (it should be cheaper than that $17 somewhere, hopefully). Before that I thought the Devcon 2-part plunger kit deal from Wal-Mart etc. was more affordable and worked pretty well. It's thicker to apply, I like Envirotex better but the Devcon still ain't bad.
However, I defer to Mr. King, Mr. Moski, Mr. Mottes, Mr. Stinson and likely other excellet painters in this club to really give the best advice on this one.
I stopped using it after the spray polyurethane came off. I just wanted to protect the paint & I wasn't sure if I should put another protective coat over the paint job. I'm sure it peeled off because it was plastic. I was just looking for something for small paint projects. I painted this lure like the original blk/silver rapala & liked the way it turned out so I just wanted to protect the paint somewhat. I'll give it a go this weekend & see how the paint job holds up.
The paint will hold up fine as long as you don't let any soft plastics come in contact w/ it. If a soft plastic does come in contact it will melt the paint and you'll end up with a nasty spot on the lure that will never be quite right again.
Having some E-tec around is almost mandatory for a muskie angler.
Has anyone tried spraying this with a small airbrush, and if so what is used to thin it?
