    So I am a die hard kentucky fan and can't stand the color red. I have covered up most red lettering but I'm not sure what to do about the lettering on the limbs. Any advice.

    I always wondered why it was red on the original Creed. They are black on the Totally Lost Creed. [​IMG]

    I don't know if it is a sticker or painted on. Maybe you can get some like the ones on the Totally Lost Creed and cover/replace them.

    Awesome Looking Setup!!

    If I were you, I'd just throw the whole bow in the garbage.

    By the way, when's garbage day in your neighborhood?

    Not sure about on the bow, but pulling car decals and such you can apply heat from a blow dryer and then peal it off.

    It's looking like its painted on. I was going to wait to see if they brought the totally lost back, but as you can see patients got the best of me.

    Have you tried a blue sharpie? If its painted on it probably would work,if its a decal I doubt it.
    Go Big Blue!

    Yes. I used it on the small stickers on the sides of the riser. I just can't decide if I want to permanently sharpie it. Plus a blue sharpie turns the red purple. I think ill see what black will do if that is the route I take. I sure hope we show up come tournament time.

    much as the Wildcats make me puke, I'll actually attempt to make a helpful suggestion.
    Try a model or craft shop. They have paint pens in most any color. They even have fine-tipped ones for detail work.
    Given the flexing of the bow limbs, eventually it may crack/peel off, but if you hate red that much....

    Get ahold of OneStringer. They make custom limb decals called limbsations and I'm sure they can probably help you out

    Get a white paint pen, paint the letters white and then re-do it with a blue paint pen or a blue sharpie.
    Or custom stickers will work if you want to wait a month.

    I would paint the red letters blue with a fine brush. Or if you want it real nice.....put a big red Badgers sticker on it.

    You should be able to get the blue string stop from any Mathews dealer. They are selling them now in several colors.
