This group was all hand applied acrylic paint. I just squeezed it into a rag and wiped it on, let it dry and poly'd over it

Another suggestion you can cut your paint with water (half and half) and it will cover like a stain.

I used to use white paint cut with thinner. They really do show up but I missed the grain pattern so went back to grey stain and clear coat.

I like the way the pretty stains look on my woodies but nothing seems more practical or easier to find than my orange hunting shafts. I've used rustoleum spray paint and even orange India ink that I picked up cheap. But what whittler said works best for me orange cresting paint (masters choice from hobby store) thinned with a little water just enough to let a little wood grain show through and wiped on like a stain, also the easiest. I just ordered some shafts from surewood to put some orange on as I'd gotten rid of a few and turned last years broadhead shafts into stumping or small game shooters. Getting ready for October 15.

While living out west I went through hundreds of arrows. No frills was the way to go. I found a sage green color in the sample book at the local NAPA store that I liked... automotive lacquer... and used it for years.
Dependable, repeatable color, and lacquer dries in minutes. One dip from each end would do it.

Picture was taken "out on the Mesa" near Boulder, Wyoming. The black speck in the background is a golden eagle that was hanging around that day.

Charlie, I grew up in Rock Springs. My dad still lives there. He and my mom have cabin on New Fork Lake, just north of Pine Dale. The Wind River mountain range is a beautiful place to hunt.

If you are using paint why do you need to seal them with anything?? Paint is a sealer.
I like oil based rustoleum and I brush it on about 4 coats with a foam brush. Durable and duco sticks well.
Been doing them this way for a while. Love it!
