St. Patrick's Day is always inspiring and today was no different. A great friend is going to be shooting some carbons this spring and wanted to get them "spruced up" just right.

These carbons went from this:

To this!

Hoping their new owner likes them!!

Little bit of Testors paint and a little bit of water is all I use.

Fred and Bob liked them too.

I hate to admit this...but I do my daughters finger nails in swirl dip like that in water.

I wonder if this process is similar??

Looks great! I like marble dipped caps the best.

Guru, my girlfriend just informed me that it is very similar. The paint peels off the fingertips but stays on the nails...

Curt, you are truly a dedicated dad!

You are correct Sir! (cue my best Ed McMahon voice)

I'm sure there are other ways folks do it but all I use is Testors paint dripped into the top of a container filled with water. Swirl it around and dip the arrow in.

I'll admit to getting some really fancy finger and nail colors when doing this!!

From one Maryland man to another......I resemble that remark!

I'd encourage anyone to give this a try as it's not too terribly hard. Good Luck!

John,

I was wondering about your process. A few years back, I stopped at a museum in the Smokey Mountains and they showed a similar product. Their process was to float the paint on water and roll your medium across it. Your way seems much easier.
