Painting An Old Shaft

[notorious#29 0]

I dug up an old Franklin shaft in the garage yesterday, and to have some fun, I decided I was going to re-paint it a different color. I just finished sanding everything, and now I need to decide what color I'm going to paint it. I have been sitting here thinking about it for a while, but I can't think of anything. So I will throw it up to you guys.

What color (colors, stripes, ect.) should I paint my stick, I'm open for any idea. And after seeing that photoshop equipment thread, I know we have some creative people on this board. So fire away.

maybe some chameleon paint.

White perhaps? It'll blend in with the ice!

Plain old fashioned black. Reminds me of some 8 dollar comp shafts a LHS had a long time ago.

Those things were pretty worthless.

maybe do it up sorta like a XN10 with like yellow on the sides black on the top and bottem but maybe do it with different colors.

Paint it like a magic wand with the shaft black and the blade white.

Your fault for buying it. lol I think you should paint it like a candy cane in your team coulors. That would be sweet.

Go white shaft and black blade on it. It'll be like an optical illusion from a distance. You can buy spray epoxy appliance paint that should work well and be durable.

I'm going to paint an old Ultra Lite shaft using it.

I'll let you know how it turns out after I'm done. I think I'm going to do a silver to black fade in the middle of the shaft.

I always paint old sticks and I usually like going with a fade that Easton uses (fades near bottom) Here are some combos that i have done.

Red to silver

Silver to Black

Black to Green

Silver to Green

Black to Red

hot pink fading to silver would be sweet

[kovalchuk71 212]

you could candy cane tape the stick, then paint over it and get a spiral going....Barber shop sign....

Or polka dots....Pink shaft with white polka dots

[forsberg91 0]

Yeah you should do the polka dots lol

hot pink-lime green fade.

[A_Steeves12 0]

black fade to hot pink and if you put writing on it do it in lime green.

Buy some of that chrome spray paint, and spray it with the gold chrome and fade to green chrome. Green for the money, gold for the hunnies

I say you paint it neon pink and orange, and then sprinkle some extra neon purple on there for added touch

the chameleon/colour change paint seems like a great idea if you can get ahold of it... i had a buddy once who was a goaltender. his dad was a professional car painter, and he would get custom designs on his mask every year. that must have been the shit

Unless you're going with the cheap hobby/spray paint, i'd stay away from the "flip" paint. Chameleon paint costs $300/pint for each phase depending on the quality.

I say go chrome. Or pick a color and then use some sparkles...haha. Sprinkle them over the wet paint...or just paint it two of the nastiest colors you can find.

[jbyun04 7]

underpaint it in gold and spray a cheap coat of green over it so that when it chips you got gold coming out. <_<

[mickz 107]

Red/White Candycane.
