Location: Kronenwetter, WI		Just ordered some Mag-x blades...stainless only.

How is that different than nickel?

Does simple spray paint from a can work well? I've done it, and it seems to.

Also---what are everyone's thoughts on pattern blades...firetiger, etc....seems like it shouldn't matter....the blades are SPINNING and are a blur anyhow.

Thanks,
mlure

Stainless is stamped out of Stainless steel material. Nickel blades are Nickel plated brass. We are working on getting those large blades painted.

Location: Land of the Musky		If Dick gets his painted they will be done right for sure! For now you might want to rough up the blades a little if you paint them yourself. Gives the paint something to stick to. Otherwise you might have a chipping problem. You can also get paint that "eats" into the metal. I have never gotten thsi paint or seen it but just have heard about it from my manufacturers. I think Mepps and other mass produced bucktails and spinnerbaits use it. Sounds a little toxic to me Wonder what it does to finger nails??
