[TowerTalk] Painting a tower

[Steve Baughn]

Mike,

Some oldtimers used to say to just put your belt on and use a painters mitt 
and paint-not particularly pretty (the tower or you) but it does work. Only 
other option might be to paint the tower before putting it up and hope it 
lasts..A shorter tower you could probably rent a JLG lift and do the job.

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.
