[TowerTalk] Painting a tower

I have not seen a response to your question yet so I will give my opinion.
I have spent a lot of time doing tower painting at P40A and I removed the
cables from the legs and let them hang from the guy cables while I scraped
and painted. Once the paint dried I refastened the cables.  This was a
personal preference and not necessary, but it did ensure that I had a nice
coat of zinc paint on everything which looked nice for a month or so. BTW,
I used Brite Zinc paint and a painting mitt.

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.
