I have abunch of nickle blades that I tried painting to switch up colors and the paint didn' last 2 trips. I know I probably didn't use the right paint and was wondering what paint and top coat you guys use.?? I used a rustoleum and a outdoor clearcoat. What is the best primer, paint, topcoat to use???? thanks

I have never done it before, but I wonder if the powder coat method used for jig heads would work. In addition, you probably want to rough up the surface of the blade with sandpaper to help the paint stick better.

If you find a method that works, please post.

Even with powder coat and baking, the blades will start to chip really fast. Epoxy coat will help, but it's a pain on a**** work
