Vintage Lures
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
does it matter what kind of paint you use to paint fishing Lures?
I have a couple of vintage lure blanks and I would like to retore them and actually use them as well. I have heard people have used model paints and there is actual lure paint as well. Now I paint cars for a living and have a vast array of colors in my garage. I guess my question is if I used this paint would the fish be able to smell it or is that the reason why they make an actual lure paint?
Actually, I think the only reason for special “lure paint” is so they can charge more for it.
Model paint (lacquer) works fine, as does nail polish (a faster-drying version of the same). I’ve used both and fish have bit the lures just fine. Your car paint would probably work just fine — in fact, it’s probably more durable than model paint or nail polish. As long as the paint is fully dry, the fish won’t smell it at all.
