Dipping Carbons

[Luke Vander Vennen]

I recently got some Beman ICS 400s for my birthday. My question is; can I crown dip them in white paint? I've never dealt with carbons before, this is a whole new experience for me.

Yep, you can dip them just like wood or aluminum

[Shawn Leonard]

Yup, just plug the end with some foam or I use a golf tee! Shawn

Little slow here but.........

Are you just opening a can of paint and dipping in the arrow?

[702plmo]

I take some fine grit sand paper and rough them up a little and make sure the shaft is very very very clean before you dip.

Is there any special type of paint?

[Luke Vander Vennen]

I think I'm just going to buy some wraps now.  I spent the whole afternoon trying to fill a wine bottle with white paint. I finally got it done and dipped my test arrow, only to find the paint was no good

Little help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What type of paint?

[stringplucker613]

I just shoot mine with Krylon....   3 or 4 very light coats, (white) then crest with Testors....  lol

A acrylic enamel paint will work and use Duco cement. Hap

I'm with plucker: spray em with plain ol Krylon, crest with Testors, then 2-3 coats of spray polycrylic, fletch with fletch-tape. I really like the results.
