RE: cresting your arrows with....
Cresting with spray paint would be a bugger, especially if you were trying to get some hairline crests. Do you mean cap dipping instead? My early experiments with wood arrows consisted of spray paint caps--I just taped them off with masking tape. I did some that were half blue and half red, with a white band in the center, and some with barber pole stripes. Just put the white on first as a base, then tape them off accordingly. Very basic, but looked decent enough. If you wanted to see pitiful, you should see some I "crested" using magic markers, sharpie pens, and my cordless drill. How embarrassing......... <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
