I assume that there's a thread about this, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone have any suggestions about painting your full tilts. I'm thinking about doing an american flag style on mine.

I know that people dye their full tilts, there a thread on that.. Look around. As far as painting goes i would say Spray paint of some kind of Air brush type of thing is the best choice. Brush painting sounds like a bad idea.

lol my bad I should have been more specific. Definitely not brush painting them. i think spray painting or air brushing them with a specific plastic paint and then spraying it with a clear protective enamel is the way I'm gonna go.

i would use a dye

kids dye lacrosse heads and they retain that color through SEASONS of ground balls and checks

spray paint does not give a consistent color // fades too
