Coatings for lead weights
Fluid bed coating cups create a “floating” powder cloud you can dip hot lead into for an even coat. Perfect for powder/komaxit paints, and a key part of a stable setup for rubberized lead coatings.

List of products
A fluid bed cup is the difference between “it kind of works” and a repeatable, even finish. Air lifts the powder so it behaves like a liquid — the coating then grabs cleanly, including edges and curves.
Where it shines
-
Powder/komaxit paints: fast coating for smaller jig heads and sinkers, efficient and simple.
-
Rubberized coatings: more demanding, but maximum abrasion resistance — great for saltwater use, pilkers and heavy terminal sinkers.
Two air-power levels
-
Small air pumps + plastic cups: ideal for powder paints and lighter lead.
-
Hailea compressor + stable cup/roller setup: the reliable choice when you’re coating with rubberized paint and need steady airflow with headroom.
