I removed my old fletchings off 3 old arrows to try a spray crest.
I picked up some Rustoleum spray Laquer.One arrow I cleaned with water.Two arrowsI cleaned with acetone. I sprayed one acetone and one water cleaned arrow with just the white laquer. The other acetone cleaned arrow I primed then sprayed the white laquer. I let them dry overnight then started to fletch.

I tried 3 types of glue. Fletchtite, liquid superglue and a gel super glue. I immediately found out the fletchtite messed up the laquer. So I treid the two super glues. I fletched the arrows and let the glue cure for about 4 hours.

On all the arrows the super glue held thefletching great to the paint, but if I pull hard on the fletching it rips up a strip of the paint and comes off. So I seem to have a problem with the laquer sticking to my Gold Tip XT shafts.

I did not sand the shaft since I had heard it was not needed and is bad to sand carbon shafts. Even the shaft with primer, the paint peels off with the fletching.

Any help for those who are having better luck??

I stripped the paint off one of the arrows and tried a white arrow wrap then fletched it with the gel super glue it is drying right now them I will see if the fletching hold. It was easier than I thought it would be but I still would like to find a way to make the paint creat work.

I like the idea of the paint wrap for the cost, weight and ease of removal with acetone.I need to find a way for the paint to stick to the arrow.
