All you have to do is use steel wool or 220 grit sand paper on the crown and get some of the stains finish down so the paint(I use any kind of spray paint its how you apply it that matters) will stick.then spray it a very light coat let it dry and then another very light coat and let it dry (turning the arrow as you spray) and if needed another very light coat.Then let it dry for 2-3 days and poly over it.
these were done that way
 

Tim, I think it is the type of spray paint I used. It was very grainy and thick. Then when dry it was chalky and rough. It was spay paint for marking and it was fast drying. I went back to Home D and found that all the fluorecent spray paints were fast drying. So before buying flo spray again I wanted to get some more info from knowledgable people. Thanks for the info and offers for help.
......Sorry moderators if you feel insulted. I am left scratching my head at times with your decretion for if a post remains or is deleted. I wrote the bit about the deer just to make it have something to do with trad bowhunting. I will edit the post. Next time I will send you a pm Mr. Lamb before I post a new thread and if you could be so kind and tell me if it is on topic or off. Thanks Ed

I got that color paint at a Big K (kmart) for three bucks.Painters choice makes flo colors to.Line marking construction paint is what you had.Just sand it off and go at it again.But the light multiple coats is best way I found to get it to stick.Good luck and feel free to pm me if you have any ?'s

I use a base coat of white gloss first and spray floursant pink paint on top of that and then a coat of clear gloss.  Man they come out really bright and can be seen for miles.

I used a combination of dipping and airbrushing on this set.  I get alot of requests for pink arrows.

those are some pretty arrows badger!

Dylon makes a cold water dye that you can use on wood. It comes in many shades, including "Radiant Pink".

Times up Poison Ed.........
