I use enamal nail polish. It works well and touch up is easy. Although I
use this mainly on hard bodied baits I don't see why it wouldn't work on
weights too. You can keep some handy for quick thouch ups. Bill P.

I've painted my tungsten weights a number of times, with several
different paints, at the end of the day flippen grass with a sandy
bottem, nearly 3/4 of the paint has chiped off.
Can anyone tell me, do I need a spcial paint, primer, metal etch, to
get the paint to stay on the weigths?
Thank

Try powder coating them. Is fairly easy with a propane torch.


I believe the powder coat works well. But, with the total cost you are
spending, you should really look into www.penetraterweights.com They
are the tungsten you like but, also have a special coating that are
very chip resistant and also slide through weeds and such very well.
