Any colour but make sure you get some white primer on the lead first or it will look poo

[Russ hud]

Funnily enough, ive just painted a dozen or so jig heads this afternoon using bright orange airfix paint which has lasted me years, like said before they must be primed with white first.

Good luck,
Russell

 

[rossysmallcast]

primed with white airfix - if i was using airfix?

 

[Russ hud]

Heres a picture, i plastic powder coat mine white, it only takes a couple of mins.

 

[steppeydog]

would gloss paint work as an undercoat or not

 

[OuTkast76]

Would have thought metal paint would be the best choice
