Pretty cool stuff indeed, I have used the bohning cesting paint to do the same thing, and have gotten the same results. I haven't tried mixing paints before but it looks like i'm going to have to try it.

very impressive. thank you for sharing this with us.

Same way I do it, except I use thinned auto paint. Any oil-based paint will float on water.

I'll have to try out the Testor's I have. Great how-to! I'd like to see those all fletched.

I use Bohning fletch tape with CA glue with no worries. Usually apply 2 coats of water based sealer before fetching.

Very well done. This belongs in the "how to" or "build along" section permanently.

Thanks for sharing.

X2!

Jim is a super guy and has gone out of his way to help me with my arrow making skills. He's always wiling to offer tips and answer questions.

Do you plug the end of the carbon arrow? Do you have to paint the shaft first? I know the white probably helps get the tru paint color but just wonder if it is a must.

Thanks,
Cool idea!

Both are great questions:

1. I've done carbons both with the nock in and the nock out with no ill effects either way. If you use the nock in your nock will have the same painted effect. Moving forward I'm going to stick with the nock out method.

2. White paint is a great "blank canvas" to work with and makes all colors show up really well. Over the years I've tried other colors for the base over one coat of white and while some colors look really cool that way you're kind of limited. Yellow does produce some cool looking end results though. I've also tried no base paint as well and the results didn't really do it for me at least.

Try all different things and find what works best, and looks best, for you.

Great job John. I just bought some pink kids arrows for the St Judes auction and now I know how I will crest them!

What kind of paint are you using for the base coat on the carbon shafts?
