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
George


I have tried Plastic Dip spray on tool handle coating, and I have tried
Epoxy appliance spray paint. Both worked better than most other paints I
tried. Honestly I don't recall which worked better. Neither would last
all day, but I rarely finish a day with the same weight still on the line
even when using 50Lb line.

Bob,

I don't know if this is the same stuff that I use, but it has to be similar.
If you use this to color your weights, then bake them in the oven for 10
minutes, you'll have a finish so bloody hard that you won't believe it.
Just make certain that the line hole is clear before you bake them, or
you'll NEVER open the hole afterwards.
