What type of paint do you use for lead?

Something I can buy at a local craft store rather than order it from a tackle store?

I was thinking acrylic paint with clear nail polish. I have a few jigs with chipped paint and some shakey heads and jika rigs that id like to paint a darker more natural color.

thanks

Get the paint powder, pro-tec is a good brand although I am sure there are others. Easy as heating the jig head with a lighter and just dip it in the powder for basically a baked on finish, works amazing!
