[TowerTalk] Camouflage Painting of Towers

[N2TK, Tony]

Hi Fred,
Here are a couple pictures of my tower. The lower 40' is painted with Rust-Oleum Camouflage. It is ultra-flat and non-reflective. I also sprayed the 40' Rohn 45 gin pole that is attached to the tower and is used as a falling derrick for tilting over the tower.

This summer when I tilt over the tower I will paint another 20' with Camouflage plus the two antennas. Will also paint the SteppIR with Flex-Cote, probably light gray or sky blue. 
Not sure yet what color I will paint the top of the tower. But it will be flat. By the way a number of years ago I painted the tower with two coats of Rust Bullet. It has held up extremely well. But of course I don't need to worry about salt spray. 

73,
N2TK, Tony

Hi List,
Does anyone have before & after photos of lattice towers that have been painted to 'match' the background of terrain / trees behind them?  If so, could you please send me a 'before' and 'after' photo, as well as the type of paint you used?  Any other comments, suggestions, ideas, etc. you have would be also appreciated.
Thanks & Very 73,Fred, K9VV
