Quillback Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I've had Tim Hughes do some Warts, he does outstanding work.
Guest Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Dwain at Baitwerks is a fishing buddy of mine, you should call him & get a quote.
Guest Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I would highly recommend Dwain at baitwerks.com. His pricing is really fair for custom paint work especially if you get 3 or more in the same color/pattern. I honestly think he is the best painter I've ever seen on lures. He is in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. His turn around time can be a couple of weeks or more because I know he gets a ton of work. I've had some old beater warts brought back to life by Dwain. +1

You could run into trouble with the chrome warts that you have in that pic. Lots of painters won't paint over a chrome bait. Whoever you choose I would call first and see if they would do them. You/They would have to blast off the chrome before painting and not all painters are willing to do that. Just a heads up.

Yeah the trouble is that nothing really wants to stick to the chrome coating. I've painted some in the past with good results by just sanding them really well. It's not hard chrome like an old style bumper. But if you need something that will make the paint stick to un-sanded chrome then let me know. I have some stuff that will work. Basically just a wash before you paint. Then anything will stick to the chrome surface.
fishinwrench Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 You can usually scrape off the chrome with an old pocket knife, I have done that on spooks and rattle-traps back when "bone" was a hot color.
