RE: Bowtech camo film dip problem
I dont think there are any bows currently that will hold up as far as finishes go. All of the bows I've had in the past couple years eventually showed signs of wear at major wear areas. I will have to say that my Hoyt Vipertec straight from the box is the best finished bow I've seen as I didn't see any areas where the paint had dirt or other imperfections in it. But like I said, I'm sure that it too will show wear at some point.
I dont know about others, but has anyone tried to paint aluminum before? Bare aluminum, or bare metal for that matter doesn't take paint too well. Thats what primer was invented for. But that would add more weight to the bow and cost. Most manufacturers arent willing to do that yet.
I don't know what kind of prep goes into the risers before dipping, but even a very light roughing of the metal would make it stick better.
Coud someone enlighten me. How do they "dip" the bow? I never really thought about how a riser is actually camoed.
