[TowerTalk] tower painting, etc

[Jon J Cverna]

I recall, years ago, of a guy who painted his quad antenna blue to +ACI-blend in
with the sky.+ACI- As things turned out, it stood out like a sore thumb.

+AD4-1.  To blend with the sky, what color and type of paint is recommended for
the
+AD4-tower?  I don't want the Rohn white or orange stuff.


Most attempts I have seen to mask a tower by painting aren't worth the
trouble.  I would leave the finish as is.  The galvanizing will eventually
weather to a dull grey which I think blends in better than any paint job.
