Have an old school vintage bow on order I'd like to camo paint to cover scratches but really don't want a permanent type paint like RustOleum and remember back in the day there was a product called "Bow Dull" that came off pretty easy and left factory paint or finish okay with Termintine... I know the stuff isn't in production anymore but wondering if any products like it out there?
Thanks

Used a bunch of that in the late 70's! Back when factory camoed bows were all but non-existent.

You might try using plasti dip. It is a rubber type material. It comes in an aerosol can, and can be removed.

"I have used flat earth tone spray paint, it comes off pretty easy"
Yeah, that is exactly what I'm looking for, but what brands comes off easily?

Don't believe these will come off easily...

Actually the hs paints come off very easy with an old towel and acetone. Same with the RustOleum. I would wear latex gloves when doing it.

Are camo bow sleeves an option ? If so, there is a guy on e-bay that sells a variety of them. These aren't the old baggy type. They're a spandex type material available in a bunch of patterns. I use them all the time. A lot faster, easier, and less expensive than subjecting your bows finish to acetone.

Sleeves are not an option...
Thanks So467, I think I'm gonna give RustOleum a try...

I used 2 different colors on my bow in Spring of 2018. The grip turned back to white (bow was originally snow camo). But turned out well to me. Haven't tried taking the paint off but dont think it would be too hard if i wanted to.

I haven't seen Bow Dull in years. I have a 60's vintage Kodiak Magnum that I had sprayed with BD way back when. After 40 some years I was able to get it all off with no adverse affects to the bow. It was good stuff.

Personally i'd wouldn't use any solvent based paints on a bow that I care about. I'd be concerned about de-lamination. But I may be wrong, has happened a couple of times.

Brownells has some slow dry epoxy paint that is bullet proof.

I remember watching bob ross painting a canvas with this stuff then pulling off the area he wanted to high light..maybe it'll work on bows?

There are a good number of removable paint on the market. Give them a try. Start with PlastiDip. I painted the front mask with black PlastiDip in 2014 and it is still there after 100K miles.
