Hi:
I am wondering what the best way is to paint a spinnerbait head using powder paint. The ones I have tried keep coming out lumpy. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for the response.With jig heads, i've been heating them over a candle then dipping them in the paint. The problem that I am running into is that I cannot dip the spinnerbait head in the powder paint because it does not fit with the wire on it. I tried pouring the paint over the heated up head but that is how I ended up with the lumpy results.

Thank you

I apply powder paint by sprinkling it onto the lure with a fluffy camel hair brush, & use a heatgun to heat & reheat the lure. First practice sprinkling on a piece of paper, so that you can save & reuse the paint. The brush is held a few inches above the bait, and the paint comes down like ‘snow’.
There are some tips here:

Note that the first ‘tap’ on the brush dumps a lot of paint, so tap it back into the jar!

With a bit of practice you’ll be able to do multiple colors like some of these baits that I’ve painted.

Great idea on the sprinkling. Alex, I put mine into a big cottage cheese container and shook it up a little, to cover mine.
