I want to paint some BulletBobbers to look more like a Bass lure.
Stickers should be fine for Musky but I think they are too loud for bass.
The bodies are ABS plastic and there is a tube that runs thru them made out of PVC.
What types of paint would you suggest?


I am worried the paint will soften / melt the plastic.

depends on how detailed you want to get
i have seen some people pait with just a good ol spray paint and seems to work fine
but if you really want to get into it i would airbrush them

I have an air brush but have only played with water paints.
I don't know anything about using oil base paints.

well, any paint you put on them would work, but to keep the paint on them, you need to have some kind of sealer......epoxy or clear coat of some sort.........but for musky, i wouldnt' worry about it....1 fish and your paint is pretty much screwed anyway.......i use laquer
