Has anyone had any luck painting their own spoons using fingernail polish? I picked up a bunch of blank hammered nickel trolling spoons at a garage sale for next to nothing. I see that my wife has a great assortment of fingernail polish colors (haven't told her my plan yet). My mind is thinking of painting some spoons and trying them out. I am envisioning different patterns to mimic rainbow smelt and alewives. I see some of her nail polish colors look great (purples, greens, blue, salmon red, yellow, gold, black, white and grey with glitters hahaha). I just need some hooks and ring connectors, plus my wife's permission on the nail polish lol.

Don't see why it wouldn't work. Might have to clean the spoons well first with denatured alcohol or something to make sure the polish sticks.

Spoons and stickbaits! Clean 'em well and then fire away. Lots of colors and glitter etc optons!

warning!!! this is how a new hobby begins.
