looking to paint my bow.

Post by cdnarmyguy »

Well, its come to this, damn bored of looking at the same realtree colours. Im looking to paint the thing and lil different. Any suggestions on paint? I think the camo paint should work. But has anyone painted theirs? Have paint both my own and military weapons. And Tremclad stands up good.

I just painted my Exomax. It had a snow camo home job. I sanded down the limbs, riser, rail and stock with a 3m pad. Cleaned everything with acetone and used a Plasticote self etching primer and finally Plasticote flat black. It's still hanging in my shop as I want to let it cure well. It looks beautiful but I can tell it will not wear well. It'll be easy enough to touch up but the factory finish is by far the most durable. I looked into hydrodipping everything but it would run about $250.00 and to me it's just not worth it for a $500.00 bow.
