Title: First Try at Air Brushing
Post by: Paul Mattson on January 24, 2010, 10:44:00 PM
Here's my first attempt at airbrushing.  Trying to get the paint down.  I used the cheap walmart paint to do these.  I do have some paint made for airbrushing will give that a try next.

These are going to BowHuntingfool he wanted some plan Jane Flu Flu's for pheasant hunting. He'll be getting 6 airbrushed.

Joe, if I lost these at your place like I did my carbons during the Rabbit hunt I most likely would still be looking for them!    :goldtooth:

Good job, Paul. If you can do that well with the less than ideal paint, future arrows with the good materials are going to be great. And that is in addition to the extremely high quality of the arrows beneath the paint! You build superior arrows.

Paul just curious, are you airbrushing to get the faded affect on the areas you want?  Those arrows look great.  Keep up the superb work.

I just started using Createx paints made for airbrushing.  I can get some great looking fades.  I am working on multi-colored layered fades now.

Those are sweat!! I did that a few years back with a white cap and hot pink fade looked awesome. Would be a good comboe for Jersey's "Team Pink" guys. Wish I had pics of them. Skippy
