I need more feedback on a few questions regarding my 60' 45G going up soon.

1.  To blend with the sky, what color and type of paint is recommended for the
tower?  I don't want the Rohn white or orange stuff.
2.  Is the AG2 top section the best fit for a 2" OD mast?  I will be using a
thrust bearing somewhere, depending on if I use an AG4 or AG2 top.
3.  Is Rohn quality going down?  There is a lot of excess galvanization
"dripping" off the z cross members, and most of them are darn sharp!  The tube
legs need to be filed-down so they will mesh with the adjoining sections.  Has
it always been this way?
4.  Is anyone using utility-pole type long (4') fiberglass insulating rods at
the top of their towers?  Could they be treated as pseudo-torqe arms?

Thanks, 73
