I'm assuming it's a compound bow.  There is a fella in Elma, I think, that does hydro dipping.  My understanding is he is good, and his prices are reasonable, but I have not used him myself.  If you want to make it pretty automotive paint works well, and there is no end to the colors.  Camo paint, and an airbrush will work also. 
Hunt hard and shoot straight!

i just attempted refinishing my bow with duracoat.
I mixed the paint wrong and it didnt set up very well.
If you go with duracoat make sure to use all the hardener sent and only a drop if any of the flex add. on the limbs.
Ive got a shake and spray kit laying here with extra flex addititve in tactical flat black but have decided to send my bow off to ultimate finishers for the colorfusion treatment.
to get my cams,limbs,pockets and riser it wll be around 200.
duracoat shake and spray kit will run around 50 bucks after shipping.
all depends on what you are looking for i guess

Try Northwest HydroPrint in Montesano, there probably who Old Dog is referring to.  I haven't used them, but have heard good reviews.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I have read a lot about kolorfusion but don't really want to spend that much, dipping seems to be about $75-85. If it is as durable I will go that route. I was just looking to see if there was anyone local. I will check out NW. Thanks for the inputs

the rustoleum spray paint on my hunting bow is holding up well!   couldn't deal with the leopard thong look... :tup: 

and the sikkens automotive bass boat metal flake under a mile of clear on my indoor bow is likewise flawless!   :tup:
