Does anyone know about a paint that can be used on 'finished' plastic worms for spots, designs and creative artwork? I thought I had seen a paint on Lurecraft that fit that description. I've gone back and scanned through the site and can't find the paint. I was thinking maybe painting pretty flowers on my worms or the words "B-I-T-E M-E" , in PINK paint. What about a stamp from a craft store and using this paint in an ink pad? Would that work?

You may be thinking of "Spike It", Buffy. I bet that would work just fine. I've used regular old vinyl paint on my Croakers. They came out looking like a Croaker with vinyl paint smudges. As soon as I catch a fish on one, I'll take a picture. Might be a while.
Pink, huh?

Denny is right. As far as I know, spike it has the only paint that adheres well to cured baits. Comes in a bottle looking much like fingernail polish. They also have an air brush paint; but that is in a whole different league as to it's application. Barlows sells it as well as Spike-It.

I think this is what I had seen before.

That product is aimed more for the large scale producers. The thinner and retarder both contain voc's that require chemical a respirator and special ventilation ( esp. no sparks ). I am not sure whether a craft store stamp would stand up to the solvents or not. It is designed to be applied via an air brush. If you were going to do this on hundreds of baits, it might be worth a look see. The paint in fingernail polish style bottle is for accents on a comparatively small numbers of baits.
