Cooollll....sounds like a good plan to me.....Give it a shot, if you don't like it all you have to do is sand it back down and start over....

Bet it looks like a Rat-L-Trap. NEVER use a belt sander or any other sander. Start with 400 Grit wet-dry and then go to 600. ALWAYS sand with water.

really? mine came out great, but i didn't apply pressure when sanding, just enough to get paint off.

I just did.

Fool, Bombers are so finely balanced that almost any modification will change the action and usually trash the bait. For instance, I took some eyes off a She Dog and glued them on a 15 Series Bomber. The bait would dive nose-down when it hit the water. Since I used epoxy to put the eyes on...I trashed the bait. Never sand with anything but water and always sand in-between coats to make sure the paint adheres. Sand before clear coating and sand in-between clear coats. It takes alot of tedious time when you do it right but, when you catch a fish, you get a special satisfaction out of saying..."Ha ha...I fooled your azz".

So let me get this right, before i put my clear coat on it, i need to sand it with normal sand paper. Wouldn't that take the paint off???
