Isaac, all it takes is the powdered paint you buy from BassPro or online, a cheapo toaster oven, and a heat source like a propane torch or gas stove burner. I just heat the jigs up for a few seconds over my propane torch, dip them in the paint color of my choosing, hang them on a wire rack to cool.
After they cool, use a jig "eye buster" to break the paint out of the hook eye, hang them on the wire rack in the oven, turn it on to 350 degrees for 20 minutes and you are done. Let them cool and there you go. Be sure to get the paint out of the hook eye before you bake the jigs. Very tough to do after they've been baked. I know, I didn't clear the eyes on my first batch. Hard lesson to learn.
