Title: Paint over tru oil?
Post by: eastcreekarchery on December 13, 2020, 07:52:29 pm

I have a bow finished with tru oil. I would like to paint it now. Will the paint run if I paint on top of the tru oil finish? I plan to use acrylic paint...thanks!

I’m not sure about acrylic. I paint over it with water base though and also with my nano liner. After I’m done I put another coat of tru oil over top to lock it on.
If I make a mistake I can usually wipe it off.

Acrylic craft paint is compatible with Tru-Oil.

I crest arrows with acrylic pant over tru-oil.
