Location: Becker MN | Wondering something about airbrush paints. I have used some Createx paints on some Jakes, and finally got to test them out some. Paint don't seem to be sticking well. I used some spray can primer, and had roughed up the surface lightly before hand. I used some spray can clearcoat also, don't remember the brands, but was reading here and didn't think it really mattered. I am wondering if there is something I am doing wrong that you can help me with to get a better finished product. I am using for personal use but would also like them to last a bit longer than a day. Any help or sugestions would be welcome. |

| I learned a long time ago......find paint that you like and then get a primer that is made by the same company or at the very least one that you know will work with it. Same thing goes for the clear coat. I've made lots of calls to the R&D departments of paints that I use to make sure. Once you put it on, it better work or you will have trouble.
Now I use House of Kolor for everything except my primer/sealer, and I checked with their people to see what I should use because their primer/sealer had to be sprayed on, and I wanted to dip the lures. They told me what to use, even though it wasn't their product.
Everything that you use must be compatible. |

I don't know of a spray can clear coat that is tough enough to withstand musky fishing for five minutes let alone a whole day. Use Etex or Devcon after your paint is dry.
