Title: darkening a bow / refinishing
Post by: saumensch on September 02, 2010, 02:54:00 PM
Hi,

i have a 70" longbow that has very light-coloured limbs with a the final layer being  clear fibreglas.
Id like to darken those limbs, or even make em black. What would you use? simple spray paint in multiple layers?

Any advice apreciated!

Thanks alot

Spray paint in flat colors would work but how about snake skins?

Lots of bows have been "camoed" with spray cans.
Give it a go.
