Re-Painting old Spoons

[Springbuck1]

Anyone have any experience with painting old spoons with finger nail polish? Does the scent affect the bite? If so, what paint or tape would anyone recommend to re-paint some old lures?

  I do it all the time.  I repaint ice jigs and other things the same way.  Once completely dry, the smell doesn't affect anything. 

The main issue is that I'm kind of limited to the colors at the dollar store, funding-wise, and it goes on a little thick. 

Couple of tips: clean off old paint completely, and start with a white or very light-colored base coat, or it's hard to build an opaque coating.

     Also, the chemistry is different from commercial paint, so get the nail-polish jigs/spoons their own box so they don't sit jumbled up with others, or they will gum each other up.
