I've seen great two color and multi color jig heads here.  Are they done with powder paint?  How is it done?  I'd like to give that a whirl.  Thanks!!!

Yep, I've done it. Get some cheap paintbrushes. I like camel hair brushes. I heat my jig, do a dip into the base color, back over my lamp until that paint glosses over. Then I dip a paintbrush into the secondary color, and using a fingertip, "tap" the powder off the brush onto the jig. Takes a little practice, but you can do a lot of nice stuff with it.

Double dipping works well to.  Sometimes it changed the color of the paint when put over another color but is faster/easier. A base paint of pearl white then paint over with color looks phenomenal too.
Here are a couple brush tap patterns I've done in the past.  Sometimes I'll use 2 brush at once or move back and forth with different colors.
