    Default Old eyes and rod tips


    I have some black 12 foot rods that I would like to brighten up. I like flo green and flo orange. I assume model spray paint will do the trick, but came up with another idea. What about arrow wraps? I am going to pick some up and give it a whirl, unless some of you fine folks have beat me to the punch and have experiences you would like to share.

    May work fine. I used white Fusion spray paint on my tips. It's lasted good, is very visible, and easy to apply.

    I bow hunt alot and had the same idea with the arrow wraps but the only problem is they make the tip alittle stiff.

    I do my tips by sanding just enough to knock sheen off. Use the floro Green or Org,marker paint. Found that spraying with coat of white primer first makes for a better job. Have gone over color with clear to keep from chipping.

    I use Krylon Fusion also...

    My rods have been painted for over 10 years now with no chipping that I can tell at all...
