Cresting Type of paint

(1/2) > >>

zeNBowyer:
I am  getting  into cresting  after  having  built a simple  cresting  machine, and  after  looking  at  the $$$ I  see commercial vendors asking for  so  called  cresting  paints ($8 per  ounce  wow) I am  wondering what  some  of  you  use, is  there some  special  paint  you  use  for  your arrows, or does  it  really  matter all  that  much  whether its  enamel,  acrylic  or  water  based  paints,  thanx:)

Wally World carries acrylic craft paints in many different colors. They should work fine for cresting.

Stoker:
That's what I use The wife's craft paint. It's good arcrylic paint and the price is right.
Also you can get any colour your looking for.
Thanks Leroy

bow-toxo:
I use acryllic. I suggest if you are using it on raw wood, firsr wet the wood to raise the grain and sand before applying the paint.

Pat B:
I usually gave my cedar shafts a dip in water based poly first then added the crown and cresting then another dip or 2 of poly.
