Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Paint for hard bodied poppers?

I suspect I will venture into poppers one day, because they sound like something "different", and the longer you do a hobby, the more "different" you seem to want to try ;). 

I did, however, just use my UV torch and some UV liquid of some kind to stick 1/2 of a paperclip to make a makeshift hook keeper to  lower portion of a fly rod just yesterday.  I hate having to use snake guides (or the "foots" of stripper guides) instead of a dedicated hook keeper....and this was an expensive, newer graphite rod!  If you're going to charge people hundreds of dollars for a plastic fishing toy, it should have a keeper!  ;)

Sharpies react with epoxy or other finishes.  

Craft store acrylic paint works great.  It sometimes looks dull until you clear coat it.  Sally Hanson's Hard as nails is good for a quick test, but epoxy is really nice.  I've been meaning to try UV resin, it's expensive but setting up for epoxy takes time, so for doing one or two poppers, a quicker solution would be nice..

If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll get out the Copic air brush set, but don't try to coat that with Sally's - it'll pull the color right off. Bodies colored with Copic markers/airbrush need to be coated with Liquid Fusion, UV resin, or epoxy.

What do you all use to add color to hard bodied foam poppers? Acrylic paint from the craft store? Sharpies?
