Yea I was excited when I came up with the pinstriping idea, lol. I thought it was fairly brilliant myself.
Curious as to why you don't want the sheen?
I do mostly, and I do mean mostly, target shooting. I bow hunt maybe two or three times a season. I love shooting my bow, but I can't stand hunting for too long, too slow paced, especially when you're using a bow. Maybe as I get older I'll develop more patience so I will be able to sit in a deer stand until after 10-10:30 lol.
I would think the sheen would make it a little easier to find arrows (not that I end up looking for them very often, which isn't anything to brag about by any means), but I also think they would look better, until they start getting dirty/scratched up.
I used chrome paint on a couple arrows and it was really neat too.
If you all have any other cool ideas, let me know, I've been trying a lot of new things.
You can also buy stickers for kids and/or at craft stores that are neat too. I used these things for a fairly funny joke. I got a hold of one of my buddies arrows, stripped it's vanes, put heart shaped stickers on it (outlines, not whole stickers) and gave it a nice pink cap on the arrow, peeled the stickers after the paint dried, and it was a very good looking arrow, for a girl lol. The black vanes were the final touch, where I put a little pink heart on the side of each fletching. So now he has an arrow that has a pink cap with a good fade, hearts all over it and pink hearts on his black fletchings.
If only everyone could have seen his face, I'm going to try to steal the arrow back and take some pictures, lol. He wasn't the happiest person about losing a dominator 300 (at least it wasn't an ACC!), but he did get a good laugh out of it. I'll bet he shoots better now
