Can be done on anything you want.
Rods, gaffs, tools, reels,etc.
First time around. I did it on the portion of my arrows that will have the vanes.
So far I like it.
Spray paint and water and get creative.
One thing I learned, less is more.

Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Sure, you know I don't care. Do I need to take off the ten layers of Krylon first?

Those came out sharp.  How well do they stand up to hay bales?

I plan on dipping a skull this year. Whose skull exactly, haven't decided. ...

Clear coat and vanes.
The pics don't do them justice.
Didn't have decent light when I took the pics, but you get the idea.

How much weight did it add? I imagine not much, but FOC % is something I feverishly balance.

I took off the company label before I dipped them. 376 gr before, 376 gr after.
I was checking FOC last night just messing around. I didn't have a tape measure with me.
I'll measure today when I get home. Don't think it'll be much difference at all.
