I would like to get into cresting arrows but I like the benefit of reflective wraps when it's dark out. Has anyone ever tried to Crest over reflective wraps? Will it stick? I may have to be the first one to test it out!!

Testors model paint should work. Not so sure a nice job would result though trying to crest over the seam in the wrap.

Spray the wrap with BullDog Adhesive Promoter before cresting.

I have crested over wraps many times and I know a lot of guys that do. Just remember to clear over the crest just like you would with all paint.

I don't know about reflective wraps but I've made my own wraps out of the white material used for covering cabinet shelves ect...You can buy it at walmart and a roll of it does a lot of arrows. works fine

I crest over wraps with pinstripe tape.

As long as the paint doesn't melt the wrap! I think I'd try water-based rather than lacquer.

Anyone here use 'True North' stuff?

Clear coat wrap 2 coats first let dry use abrasive pad to smooth clear at seam of wrap then crest and clear again

Question is reflective wraps. Is it made with the same vinyl coating? I crest over regular wraps with whatever, Bohning paints, RC car paints, Testors Acrylics. I do use MinWax waterbased Polycrillic over the top.
