Default RE: Bowtech camo film dip problem

If there was a way to make the aluminum riser a dark color before film dipping, people wouldn't notice or care as much, when some of the film dip wore off. That bright shiny aluminum looks terrible.

I've been touching up my bows with enamel paints that are then coated with a clearcoat finish. I mix my own camo colors and with a little artistry (a little is all I have), I get them looking pretty good. The enamal with clearcoat finish, wears much better then the film dip in my experience.

Or, you could be like my brother, who will take his $600 bow and wrap any offending part with camo tape. It looks terrible, but is very functional. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why he uses the camo tape. He also puts a notch on his riser for every deer he shoots (and he shoots a lot of them). The thing looks like somebody took a dull hacksaw to it, and tried to cut it in half.
