Well, I've recently tried this with spray paint, well because why not if you have a million arrows lying around, right?

Which kind of spray paint (considering that's what is used for painted on caps) do you guys use? I am mainly in a quandry between gloss or flat.

I have also stumbled upon something just to see if it would be kinda cool, and I really like it. If you guys want to try something cool, give one of these ideas a whirl.

One thing I do (other then a plain cap) is take the nock out, wrap dental floss around it first, and re-insert it. Make sure the floss is fairly long! Then you can twist it around the shaft, and give it a barber-stripe look, which is neat. Or you can try runing two strands out the end and making a criss-cross or an X pattern, it turns out really cool! You can wrap tape where you want the paint to stop or leave the tape of and let the over-spray give it a fade effect.

I have also taken automotive pinstriping (you can buy the stuff cheap at auto zone) and just put patterns on, painted the cap, then removed the pinstriping, and it can give youa really cool affect as well. You can also just apply pinstriping to an arrow after you cap it, or just apply it with no cap then refletch it.

I don't know about long term results with the pinstriping yet, all I can say is I have shot them and they fly well enough, as well as expected, even though I worry about the pinstriping peeling in flight.

Just some cool effects, I will post pictures whenever I get my digital camera fixed and everything, but it is neat.
