Bottom Bouncers Arrived
The bottom bouncers I ordered showed up today via UPS. One dozen, unpainted….inexpensive, and had the twist eye on top just how I like it.
You really don’t have to paint them, lots of folks don’t. I do, and in all honesty its for something to tinker with more than anything else. If you do decide to go that route, it is best to give them a white primer coat.
Once that was done with 2 coats, where they had dried enough, and were ready for the next coat. I did three in a forest green, three in black, 3 with cherry red, and the last three got the traditional black coat. It really doesn’t matter what type of paint you use. These were done with spray cans, and I have done them up with jig paint before. I prefer the sprays just because they can take up a lot of jig paint, and it saves on the coast. If you want them to glow though, go with the jig paint. I kind of rushed this job, in order to have pics ready for this piece, so I have some white popping through, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow, they get another coat or two.
Its hard to find a mold for 4 oz BB’s, so getting the unpainted saves a lil’ money, plus you have the fun of painting them yourself, to your own specs.
