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.

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.

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
