Re: painting leadheads
have used acrilic paints bought in an art shop,and covered them with yacht varnish! they will last a few months,depending how many hits they take.and you can get fluorescent acrilic paints as well.

Re: painting leadheads
the only way to coat leadheads properly is to use powder paint, the best is made by pro-tec and you can buy on e-bay, cabelas, janns netcraft etc.
hang the leadheads in the oven for about 5 mins at around 140c swirl in the powder to coat, and put back in the oven for a couple of mins then repeat. then turn the oven up to 170c and leave to cure for 15mins, then cool.
I usually put on 2 coats of white, and then 2 coats of my final colour.
