I was in that same boat till recently, so a few things I tried or looked:
Depending how handy you are there are some nice plans out there for making your own from a sowing machine motor or a hand mixer https://smile.amazon.com/LvDD-Mixer-Bea … hand+mixer.
If you have legos http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/inde … ic=25983.0 The pictures didn't show up for me but that could be a work internet thing. or a different style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpEEHNPisPE
I have also done it by hand. Set up a block with a little divot in it then just rotated the arrow by hand and painted. Bit of a pain but it worked.
The masking and spray paint also works well. One friend of mine has great results with permanent markers for the thin lines, just watch out if you put a protective finish over it as it may run.
One other thing. To paint the main color and clear finish I have wiped it on with a paper towel or rag for great results. Much easier and cleaner then using a dip tube and cheaper then spray paint if I already had the color.
