What kind of paint do you use when spraying paint on bows to camo them. Ive seen several done and ive seen people remove paint with out any damage to the bow

I have used Krylon camo paint. It comes in tan, brown, light green, dark green and black. All are flat in finish. Taken off with mineral spirts, make sure to keep your coats light. It don't take much to camo a bow.

I have heard of waxing a bow heavy before painting it.
I happened upon HS paint that was removable with either the sold separately remover, or regular rubbing alcohol.
Each sound like they might work for you.

The old timers used to simply rub the bow down with Bees wax and then spray paint with flat camo paint. You can hunt an entire season like this with no problem and if you get tired of the look you simply bring the bow in where it is warm or get out a hair drier and some rags and rub it all off.

I've used camo paint on all my bows, including the expensive ones. I start with a coat of beige, then add spots of black, brown and grey. I use paint remover spray or alcohol to wipe off the paint if needed

Does the paint remover cause any damage to the wood in the limbs? The reason I ask is that last year I decided to paint my Quinn Stallions metal riser and then decided to paint the limbs to match, I'm not impressed with my painting skills and was thinking about removing the paint on the limbs but wasn't sure if I would damage the limbs in any way. I used the Hunters Specialities paint.
