paint torpedo weights or not?

[chowder]

Just got a pair of 13# torpedos, Paint black ? with what ?

[L&M]

Black with little white smilies work best.

Any good black spray paint will work out ok. Couple of coats & good ta go.

they make a spray on PLASTI-DIP i get mine at home depo. it goes on nice and drys fast.rubberized undercoating will work but ive found it takes 2 days to dry(seal) proper,and is a little more of a texture and that will increase blowback some. I coat black for the same reason we use black dyspys and even what i consider a more important reason is the impuritys into todays scrap lead can possably cause electrolissis. (that is why i use rubber based products to SEAL insulate)the lead. not just color.

Andy,

For once I have to agree witih Ray.

We use the black spray on plasti-dip. We suspend the weights from a saw horse with a metal coat hanger or other wire and give them several light coats for premium coating. Just remember this is rubberized and any little nick in them will cause extra bubbles/agitation in the water some thinking that will repel fish.
