Iv used Etex on plastic lures with no problems but iv heard some have experienced peeling? follow the instructions to the letter regards mixing then mix for a further two minutes to be sure.

Try sanding wet sanding it with 180 grit sandpaper to rough it up a little and give the epoxy something to stick to. Don't take the paint off, just sand it so it looks cloudy, and the epoxy will clear it up.

Be careful, you might change the action of the lure if the epoxy gets too thick.

Or use a de-glosser first instead of sanding.
