Painting or refinishing carbon arrows??
« on: May 23, 2017, 11:44:00 AM »
Found some arrows that shoot great for me, but are horribly ugly to me.  Has anyone had experience painting or refinishing arrows??  Dipping maybe??

Thank You

Absolutely. I dip in lots of mediums. My favorite for carbon is fletch-lac. Although it smells, it's tough.

I strip, then steel wool lightly with acetone to clean the shafts completely. I them plug and cap dip them. Crest them fletch. Good to go.

Been capping mine with Rustoleum for 10 years. Wipe them down with some alcohol and spray. IF I want to take off all the markings I use denatured alcohol.
