JUNGLE JIM 1 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I love painting jigs. A new kind of powder paint came out called crinkle in four colors so I ordered some to try. It was frustrating at first because I couldn't get mine to look like the paint jobs that I had seen. Finally, after a couple hundred so so painted heads I figured it out. Don't know if they will catch more fish but they sure look cool. Haris122, Johnsfolly, nomolites and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Those look very interesting. I’ve heard about that but never bought any. I basically dip and swish. I’ve even quit using the brush tap method as I couldn’t see it producing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch f Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I think a blue/orange bluegill pattern might be cool Johnsfolly 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADAKOTA Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So what was the trick to getting the results you wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNGLE JIM 1 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 I had been doing ok by dipping in the colors and then reheating the head after dipping in the crinkle but once you dip it in the crinkle you should stop and not heat again until you cure the jigs in the oven. After dipping it in crinkle the head should look shiny black and and when you bake them in the oven the colors come through. Been experimenting with oven temps and seems 300-350 works the best for me and heads are finished in 10-15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are notorious for not having the correct temp. Set on 350° mine can’t be left untended for more than 15 minutes or I am liable to have a bunch of hooks with a gommy mess below them.

DADAKOTA Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Been known to get an elongated "nose" on some of my jigs after baking. Haven't quite figured out if it is too much powder paint or too long a bake. Or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
