Title: DIY Camo 4 Bow?
Post by: darren1968 on May 14, 2008, 01:06:00 PM
Has anybody DIY camo`d their bow using aerosol spray paints? If so care to share how? and what to use? has the finish cracked through bending of the limbs at draw? I`ve used realtree camo tapes b4 on rifles. Would like to try something diferent on a bow.

My favorite shooting bow came off that auction site, was quite ugly and had a shine to it.  I used the Krylon Camo brown.  Holding up real well and is flat not shiney.  Didn't want to bother trying to do designs and show my lack of artistic painting.    :bigsmyl:    Goes good with the quiver color.

Here's an old link where a couple of guys (including myself) give a few tips of spraypaint camo:   Spray Paint Camo Thread (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=031829;p=1)  

Pm or email Chris Wilson and see if he still has a pic of his bow...very cool looking camo scheme that I copied on a couple of my bows.

Yes, it works very well and is very easy to do. Post more questions if you need to after reading the thread.

Edit: looks like John beat me to it with a great pictorial how to.

Here's a little home made job I did on one of my board bows. Used three camo colors of rattle can stuff. Painted it all green. use stensils of whatever leaves / grass were in the yard and oversprayed with the tan then put a few lines across with brown etc to fill in. It's a first attempt but it has some promise I think.
