they basically do any colour paint you need. why acrilic though

the acrylic dries with a plasticy finish ive been told, would seem more durable??? any thoughts?

Another option would be the powder paint dip stuff. Never tried on lead meself though.

Ive tried both methods, painting and powder coating, What i will say about the luminous paint is you will need to get it from a specialist paint supplier and the tin i got was £25 for a tin the size of a small tin of golden syrup i must have been mad at the time.

Then when i painted them with it, actually i found dipping the leads in it better! I let them dry and gave them three or four coats and the finally lacquered them with car paint lacquer to give them a shiny hard wearing finish.

As for the powder coat again it is expensive for the good stuff £10 a tub from the states. The stuff i used seem to have a hardened finsish almost like enamel was tough as concrete.

lads sorry to rain on your parade here - but after painting numerous coats onto these leads at considerable cost and time, as well as the initial lead outlay ---- one snag and all that effort is lost

does it really work miracles in catching to justify that much effort

Well personally i only use these leads on clean beaches, so as yet (touch wood) i have not lost any!

I can definately say the luminous leads work. Like eric said for flats and whiting and coalies.

a lot of the top boat anglers use em brian to good effect. its about time us shore anglers took a look at em? whiting seem to respond well to a small lumi bead above the hook, as do a lot of other species?

eric you can buy them just as handy

Eric the acrylic still needs to be coated, it still chips. i used them that time i was the only person NOT to catch a flounder on the slob they take a long time to build up and need a few coats of a protecter... you sure Boycie wasn't telling you about Dave Roe usin em???
