[cool][#0000ff]A lot of guys think they have solved all their jig painting problems when they discover nail polish. And it will work...briefly. However makes a very thin and weak coat. It pops off easier than powder coatings. Plus, it is not resistant to the solvents in plastics. If you let your nail polished jig heads touch a plastic tube or grub it will dissolve the paint and make a mess.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have a semi-commercial lure making operation and have over 40 different jig molds. I pour and paint thousands of jigs each year. I use only vinyl jig paints because of the colors I can get...and they hold up for many uses...even in wood and rocks. I finish them all with a clear 2-part epoxy that is resistant to solvents.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]But if you only want to touch up a few lures, and you have the nail polish in the colors you want, then it is a good cheap quick fix.[/#0000ff]
