Charlie, I have used water based paint, craft paint and Krylon spray paint for crowns and never had a problem with fletch tape.

base coat of white gloss krylon or rustoleum (I prefer Krylon), 1-2 coats of color of your choice (again krylon is my preferred), crest with Tester's, then a final 2-3 coats of Minwax Polycrylic gloss. If you get the surface smooth with the paint each coat and allow ample time to dry between coats, it leaves a beautiful, durable finish.

Oh, and fletch tape works perfectly. The smoothness of the finish has a lot to do with how well it adheres...that's why I prefer the gloss. Use a dab of fletchtite at the tips of each end of the feather and you'll be ready for multiple pass-throughs.

I believe this is the video I used when I sprayed mine a couple years ago.  I used fletch tape and had no problems.  The feathers are still on.

They can have my bow when it's pried from my cold dead fingers.

Krylon or Rustoleum both have worked well for me.
