[cool][#0000ff]Paints are another area where there are varying opinions, just like reels, lines, etc. If you scroll back through some of our past threads you will find many references to both vinyl jig paints and powder paints.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I suspect that for touchup work you will want to use vinyl paints and then top coat with clear epoxy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am attaching a writeup I put together a while back on basic painting. It should give you some insight on what paints you can use and how to use them.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sportsmans carries the vinyl paints in 1 oz. bottles, in many of the most popular colors. If you are going to buy a quantity, or need something Sportsmans does not carry, you can find those paints and Cabelas and Barlows.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Just be sure you clean up the old paint well before repainting. If the paint is really ugly and faded, you may consider removing it entirely and doing a complete repainting job. A heat gun or acetone will get the job started.[/#0000ff]
