I have a bunch of lead diamond bar jigs that I am thinking of painting. Chrome is an obvious choice as it has always produced for me. Any suggestions on alternate color choices is welcome.

White has always done well for me. Chartreuse as well. Sometimes, you just can't beat chrome though.

I wouldn't bother spending the time to paint them unless you can do it super fast like with powder coat.

Lings like lure colored lures.

Silver works good for me. I have a guy that charges $2 a ling bar to paint silver.

Been using raw lead and having good luck with all the RCG. Just wondering if the lings like a certain color more than others. I think I am gonna go with chrome and black. Maybe a combo. Its just rattle can paint for now, so I can find what reall works
