MI STINGER paint does wear off scratch the works does it happen in a day of fishing no but they do scratch in a day of fishing. I'm not knocking their products they have good color schemes but in my opinion when an individual pays 4-5 bucks for a lure it should be of better quality. Personal preference, Domka outdoors or Gale Force are the way to go, more bang for your buck, better quality all powder paint, and 1.00 to1.50 less. All great colors schemes as well, also come in antifreeze, pink, purple, blue, and green anodized backing. Popular colors watermelon, screaming sea gull, cat dog, antifreeze, attention deficit, and Dr. Buggs. If you go with MI Stinger favorite colors are poo bear, jager, helmet, and frankenberry!! Hope this helps.
