Powder coating jigs in glow colors?

[Opus Dog]

Pro tec powder coating question. I want to powder coat glow white to my jig heads. Do I need to do an initial coat of regular white before I do the glow colors? Or just do one coat of glow powders. Anyone have any experience with the glow colors good or bad? Thank you for your time. Joe

My experience has been that a base coat of white makes the glo "pop" better. If someone has a better process I'd like to know too.

I have had much the same experience. Though I keep some of both for those days where just that subtle glow is all they are looking for.

I agree that a white base coat on jigs make the final color much brighter.

I agree with a base coat,

I appreciate your input. The white base coat was what I thought should happen. Spending the time doing something wrong and then discovering it on the water is upsetting. Joe

So you can get by putting two coats of powder on a jig? Didn't know you could heat up a jig that was already powdered without ruining it?

I haven't had much luck trying to powder coat two layers. Then again I'm not so hot at just one coat.

I need to try some out of the oven then back in for curing. About ready to do a batch of jig painting for next season to restock my depleted supply. Wife has a little desktop oven left over from her teaching days. I might just confiscate it for a couple nights.

Both jigs painted with "yellow glow". Jig on the right has no base coat, jig on the left has a white base coat.

Best to use a fluid bed, heat the jig and apply the white base coat. After it dries heat again and apply the glow. Bake in oven, 350 for 15 minutes.''

Sorry the photo rotated. Jig on the bottom has the white base coat.
