Don't despair yet. Ask around. Try the epoxy directly over your spray coat without roughing, maybe wipe first with alcohol. One thing I ran into was that System Three clear coat would not adhere to Krylon clear, so I don't advise trying that. On the other hand, for years I used to fish plugs coated ONLY with Krylon clear. That worked plenty well enough for me. Epoxy is not all it would seem to be. I've had and seen plenty of plugs peel epoxy long before a simpler clear coat would have worn off.

George,

Are you saying I could omit the system three and simply spray a rattle can clear coat directly over the paint?

Rustoleum makes a clear enamel (don't use lacquer or shellac) you can build layers up pretty fast. Wait 10-15 between coats and you can build it up in one day. No sanding between coats either. And it doesn't need to be spun. Light coats- just enought to make plug look wet.

I'm going to try it with Helmsman spray urethane, which is much tougher than enamel, but it does have an amber color. Won't matter on my black, yellow or plain white plugs.

Thanks, seeing most of my plugs will be black, white, or yellow, the helmsman may be a good fit for me too.
