I'm trying to make some prettier arrows. At some point I'm going to foot some, but my skills with a saw are fairly poor, so I'm starting with dipping and painting.
Started with some bright red paint, thinned with about 1/3 white spirit and poured into a piece of plastic tubing. Then dipped the arrows. Dried to a lovely glossy smoothness. Unfortunately the masking tape I was using to get a clear line at the top has let some paint through so the effect isn't quite as good as I'd hoped. A black line around the top of the red has been done and now I'm going to sand the shafts a little to remove excess.
Anyone got any tips/tricks for decorating arrows?
