Painting a Carbon Bow....

[Hooligan]

The market for used bow is no where near the 20% depreciation that I have researched. Its closer to 60-65% apparently.

SO I am keeping the limbs Optifade, but taking the riser back to black.....
Called Hoyt to get a quote on refinishing. They DO NOT OFFER REFINISHING SERVICES.

Anybody know of a place in Oregon or Washington that would be up to the task of stripping and painting a Carbon fiber riser?

I've heard lots of good feedback on Lost-N-Camo...

My $300 offer wasn't so far fetched then...

IIRC, wasn't it 'hydro-dipped' in the camo pattern? If so, you might want to contact the company that did it, they might have a solvent that will remove it. Another option is to have it re-hydrodipped in a carbon fiber finish like I've seen on some gunstocks. I bet that'd be as cheap if not cheaper than having it stripped and painted.

Spendy lesson to learn..."Never buy a new bow"

I may look into the Carbon fiber dip. It sure seems that no one wants to touch these carbon risers though.

Tough lesson I'd guess, but I doubt I'll buy a new one.

Here's a place in your home state that may be able to help.

$70 for a bow riser doesn't sound too bad to me.

Thank 1 pointer, I shot them an email. We''ll see what they say.

Apparently no one wants to touch it, or wants anyone's business. I emailed half a dozen places in Oregon and Washington. Not one response to an email, and the 3 shops I tried to call to follow up, didnt even answer the phone...

I am just going to have to try and strip it and paint it myself.
