By the way ...

Easy way to paint is with a sheepskin covered mitt. Just dig in the bucket and
wipe away ...

No one will judge the job for neatness (like paint on guys, etc) just don't do home,
autos, people and pets!

Holidays (missed area) will stand out a lot worse than drips on guys.

Enjoy!

Not saying it's right, per se, but that seems to be the standard.

I can't see how painting the feedline would hurt it. It should protect it
from UV, actually!

Hi

I need to paint my 95' Rohn 25 tower this spring.  How do folks go about
painting around things that are on the tower such as feedlines, guy
brackets, etc ?  Since the feedlines are attached to one leg, I could
probable paint it all except that leg, after everything has dried then move
the feedline to a leg that has already been painted and then paint the last
leg.  Guy brackets may be a bit more difficult.

i appreciate any thoughts.
