If you want bto paint with powderpaint you will need the following:

1. Heatsource;
2. Old pair of pliers;
3. Glass bowl;
4. Teaspoon;
5. Powderpaint;
   
   Eventually :
6. Applicator; (With an applicator you can add dots and stripes to your spinnerblades)

Below a step to step explanation on how to paint your jigheads, spinnerbaitheads, spinnerblades, trebles or spinnerbodys, after here named 'the object'.

1. heat the object above a non smoking flame. (the flame should be non smoking so the object will have no smoke damage). For instance use a stove as the source of heat. Heat the object about 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the size of the object approximately 3 cm above the flame (photo 1).
   
   ATTENTION : NEVER PLACE THE OBJECT DIRECTLY IN THE FLAME AND AVOID THE OBJECT FROM GETTING BLACK.
   
   
2. Then sprinkle the object with the powder with the color of choice. Use a glass bowl and a teaspoon. Then you can use the spilled powder again (photo 2 en 3). Pay attention : for the best result you should never dip the object directly in to the powder!
   
   
3. The object should be coverd with powder. Tap any superfluous powder of the object. If the paint smokes you should heat the object a bit shorter.
   
   
4. Heat the object again until the paint has melted completely (photo 4). After a coolingperiod of approximately 10 sec. a hard shiny coat appears and you are finished. (photo 5 en 6).

   • Tip 1: Always try to work on the cold side. When the object is to hot you get a thick and irregular layer. A bad painted object is the endresult. Keep that in mind. It is better to start of with an object that is a heated somewhat cooler.
     
     
   • Tip 2: For a perfect result you can put the object in an oven after the appliance of the powderpaint. Hang the object in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minuts on 175 degrees. You don't have to do step 4.
