Have your supplies and tools laid out before starting. I use Mineral Spirits to thin the paint to the consistency I need. I got the two little white bowls at Wal-Mart; works great for holding the spirits while you're working. Easy to dip a brush in them too.
Shafts with a base coat. A thunderstorm ran me out of the garage for the night. Will finish up tomorrow. I got the 7th arrow's base coat on about the time NOAA anounced a severe T-storm, about 5 minutes after the thunder started clapping. Funny how far they lean forward on their warnings isn't it? :lol: My garage is all metal, not a place to be in an electrical storm.
