I want to get my bow painted. Please help.

Hey guys,

I have a Hoyt Vulcan (2007). I love my bow. However, it's in RealTree Hardwoods pattern that is fading and wearing off. I really want to get it painted. I'd like to get the whole thing painted black, but if the limbs can't be painted, I'd be happy with just the riser.

Any ideas?

 

i've used the hunters specialties camo paint kits as a touch up on old treestands before with decent results....

Thanks. Should I sand the riser down first?

 

Have you considered getting it dipped?

 

Best results I've seen by far were dipped.

 

forget dipping......it way too hit or miss, and most aren't durable. if you going to dip, you might as well take a rattle can to it.

a light scuffing to give the new paint something to stick too, then a good wash down with a degreaser

 

I just did my bow but straight black... I took my bow down to nothing the limbs I did a light sand and painted them the riser I stripped it completely to the metal... once I did that I did 2 coats of primer and then the black... came out great...

 

I'm a bigger fan of cerakote , but I also like Brownell's aluimihyde.
Both are bake on finishes.
I send things out to get cerakoted but have done several AR receivers and parts with the Brownells and its a lot more durable than paint.

 

Thanks for the replies gents.

I like the Ultimate Finishers! I may send my bow in to them to get it powder coated next summer.

 

I have had two kolorfushion finished bows and that stuff is really nice

 

I have had several done differernt places and processes . I haven't gone any place since I had the first one done at UF ... Email them they can do about anything you can think up.
