Plasti dipped and spray painted some limbs

[DEW0341]

Did some things today. First time doing it will see how it holds up. Wanted to try it on the cheaper limbs before the heftier priced ones.... yes I know there are other ways to camo limbs up, yes I know painting isn’t for everyone. But for those that like to rattle can their ILF limbs, I figured plasti dipping first so it’s easier to remove may be a viable option. I did some testing prior to the whole camo job on a small area of the limb just to see what peeled off easiest after spray paint was applied. Ultimately went with 3 light coats of plasti dip, one coat of sage green, then used a sea sponge with dark green and brown one coat each.

Looks pretty good to me! I may do something pretty similar with my limbs

How are the dipped limbs holding up? I would expect a little pealing.

Looks good but it does add a little bit of weight which affects your performance a little bit

I wonder if the rubber based plastidip actually helps with noise at all?

Looks nice I did some similar, but like the green background on yours better.

I used a little piece of left over astro turf for tapping on top layers.

This brings me back to the sponge painting fad of the early 90s. Looks better as camo than it did on my mom's walls lol.

Nope no peeling at all after 5-600 arrows so far on this limbs.

Wish I would have chrono them prior to painting. I can’t speak to that. But I can’t say that I notice anything at all from pre plasti dip to now.
