All USPS economy (1st Class) shipments are subject to delays of up to 10-15 days. This issue is widespread throughout eBay and other mail order systems. We are working closely with USPS and eBay to sort out the issues. We are offering Priority Mail and FedEx as an option for an added cost. These venues do not seem to be as affected by the crisis, but still subject to delays. U
ntil the end of the year,
USPS has added a surcharge to all of their shipments. Instead of increasing our prices to account for the added costs, we've suspended our volume discount.

IMPORTANT NOTES
:
(1) The metalflake, also known as Powder Flake, is NOT a powder paint. It is an additive used in the powder coatings to add a glitter effect to the paint. Or can be used in other type GLITTER applications. You can use this with clear coats or candied powder paints. If you need a glitter type paint, we offer two options: Topcoats which are listed in this listing. Topcoats is a Clear Coat with added Metalflake. The other option is our Disco colors (see our other Pro-Tec listing) have a heavy concentration of Metalflake added to a similar candy color.
(2) Most of our powder coatings contain additives that create consistency issues with the powder. For example, some jars may seem fuller than others. Although the weight may be the same, the volume may not. The reason for this is the density of the additives and/or pigments used. Our glows use an additive that is dense and heavier, therefore their jars will appear less full. On the other hand, the pearls use an additive that is lite and less dense giving the jar a much fuller effect. It's like the pound of lead and pound of feathers comparison.
(3) As mentioned in Note #2, powders use additives and pigments and each has its own density index; therefore, it is VERY IMPORTANT to shake your powders well before every use. Heavier additives/pigments will settle to the bottom of the jar and unless shaken, you may not get the desired effect in our paint application. This is specifically true with all the GLOWS.
Samples:
Yes, we do offer samples (US based Customers ONLY). These are limited to one per customer and consists of approximately 2-3 grams.
1. (FREE Option) Purchase the sample separately and do not combine it with any other purchases. The order will be canceled, and purchase price refunded. A FREE sample will be mailed to you via standard First-Class mail. Although the sample is listed at {{detail_product_description}}.99, we send this free of charge to US customers only if purchased separately and issue a full refund.
2. If the sample is purchased/combined with any other item, the sample will be sent as part of the entire order. No refund will be made for combined purchases. Doing do creates an "unpaid" item case at a later date.
Are you use to buying powder paint in jars? We were too. Why throw away those jars when you can refill them at less than the cost of buying another jar? So save your jars and buy refills at Jig Junkie. Or if you just need to fill your fluid bed paint cups, then you don't need jars. Refill them with Jig Junkie's paint refills.
Here's what Component Systems says about their Pro-Tec powder paint:
Imagine a paint with virtually no odor, no drying time, no solvents and no mixing. Now imagine a brilliant, super-durable high gloss finish in seconds! These qualities, coupled with a spectrum of 60+ colors to choose from, have made Pro-Tec Powder Paint the obvious choice for thousands of tackle manufacturers and consumers worldwide.
A paint that requires no primer coat and no gloss coat translates into more money in your pocket. In fact, 2-oz. of Pro-Tec Powder Paint will cover over 450 of your 3/8 oz. jigs. For the manufacturer, that means paying about one cent per jig based on the 2-oz. price. Combine that with a painting process that takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish and you’ve got an unbeatable product.

First purchase - I'll be back!
Review by Jeff S. on 18 May 2020review stating First purchase - Ill be back!
Pro-Tec paints are great and easy to work with. Just head your jig up with a lighter for a few seconds then swish in the powder paint. I tap off the extra powder then reheat a little just to get a glossy finish. I know you can bake them for more permanent adhesion, but I find the initial coverage works just fine. I ordered some different colors this time and was please they matched the color chart the site.  I've already painted some jigs, I use these for Walleye and Crappie. This paint is so easy to work with I even made some half and half. Just paint the jig in the base color, then reheat just a little more and dip the top part of the jig in another color. Very easy and you end up with a nice solid painted jig.
This was my first purchase, so always skeptical. Was very pleased with prices, prompt service and shipping. Package arrived sooner than anticipated, packaged well. I'm adding Jig Junkie my go to list.
Great product!!!
Review by Rev F. on 25 Jun 2019 review stating Great product!!!
I have had a hard time find jig with certain colors, finally found Pro-tec Powder Paint on a search engine search and bought colors that have been hard for me to find. This product is not only great, but easy to use and you have exactly what you want and need, have built a great jig box and fellow anglers when they have seen it, have asked me where I have found a color or another, for they have been looking for it and just can't find them. I have told them the product and where to find it, originally was purchasing it on eBay, but now I purchase them directly at the Jig Junkie website. Get some yourself, you will not be disappointed!
The BEST jig paint ever!
Review by Stephen C. on 14 Apr 2020 review stating The BEST jig paint ever!
I have been building and painting jig heads for years. I’ve tried different types of paints including vinyl and Createx airbrush paints. These are great paints, but Pro-Tec powder coating is not only easy to apply, but it’s durable and chip resistant. I used to buy my powder paint at the BassPro Shop and a couple of online vendors, but the problem I had was the selections were limited to only a few color options. Jig Junkie has EVERY color produced by Component Systems (Pro-Tec manufacturer) and the prices are better than anywhere else I have found. For me, it was a no-brainer to make the switch to Jig Junkie.
Frequently  Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Question:
How do you use the paint?
Answer: Vigorously shake the jar of paint to ensure it is well fluffed. Heat your jig slightly over an open flame like a torch or candle for a few seconds, then dip the heated jig into the fluffed powder for a 2-3 seconds. Then tap the jig against the jar to knock off any excess powder. Hang your painted jig on a drying rack. Once you have several jigs on your rack, place the rack in a pre-heated oven (350F) for 20 minutes to cure the powder. You can do a search of YouTube or Google for video instruction on powder paint applications. If you are going to do large batches of jigs, we recommend using a fluid bed.
2. Question:
Do you offer specially mixed powder paints?
Answer:
Not at this time, most paints have been custom mixed. If you would like to mix your own, we recommend starting with small batches (1-oz refill bags). If you come up with a new color, send a sample to us with the mix ratios and we will forward it to Component Systems Inc.  If CSI adopts your new color, we will send you one pound of the new color free of charge.
3. Question:
What is your refund policy for Pro-Tec Paint and Glitters?
Answer:
We offer a 30-day full money back refund policy; however, there are stipulations. Products must be returned in their original condition with seals unbroken. If seals are broken, there will a 20% restocking fee deducted from the refund plus a deduction for any used product based on weight. Unfortunately, an item may arrive broken. If an item arrives broken, send us a picture of the damaged item(s) and we will forward a replacement right away.
4. Question:
Do you offer powder paint in bulk?
Answer:
Not at this time; however, occasionally we have an overstock of some paint products and would be willing to provide you a discount option. Just send us a message and let us know what coating you are looking for.  We are an authorized distributor of CSI Powder Coating products and we buy direct for you for a reasonable fee. There are minimums to consider.  Contact us for details.
5. Question:
Other paint retailers offer fluid beds for powder coating jigs and spoons, why can't I get them here?
Answer:
Fluid bed systems can be expensive, even at the wholesale price. Most tackle crafters are on a strict budget. Some of these systems can run in the 100's of dollars. You can find some homemade systems on eBay for a small cost that work okay, or you can search the Internet for plans and/or instructions on how to build one yourself. This is what we did when we created a four-bank system of two 3-inch and two 2-inch fluid beds in series.  Instead of an aquarium pump that you will see quite often, we used a small air compressor that we use for spray painting.
