looks good
Can you explain the dip method you used on the riser and how it worked out?
wondering with all the hokes how it gets inside everything.
Did you submerge it like it was laying sideways or did you submerge it the front end first?
Maybe double dip half and half?

I bought this bow used and it had 60# limbs and it was a predator camo done by kolorfusion. Since I had to tear down the bow to change limbs to 70#, I decided to dip it. After tearing down the bow I scuffed the entire riser w/ a 3m scuff pad, wiped it clean them blew it off w/ compressed air. then I sprayed on the etch primer (2 coats for even coverage). Let dry for a min of 2 hours. Fired up the garage heater again to spray on the base coat again let dry for min 2 hours. Filled my huge tub w/ warm water added the film onto the water and dipped. Due to all the different surfaces I needed to go real slow to get as much camo coverage as I could. manipulating the riser slowly in diff directions. I wasn't able to get 100% complete coverage so after is dries I will dip it again on the side that didn't get covered. I haven't decided if I am going to tape the camo sides off yet in fear when I pull the tape the camo will come with it.. I just may let the 2nd camo dip overlap.

Interesting. Cool ! Having my helmet in the same pattern would be nice ! but I see the inner side of the helmet has no the pattern, I know you don't need that... so I think you don't dip the helmet totally or have some trick. nice hobby man !
