[TowerTalk] Painting tower

[cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I agree with K7LXC.  I got some really nice used Rohn 65 tower that was clean but had the red and white candy stripr.  I used Behr's Best paint (flat) and painted over the other paint.  I moved after four years and it was like new.  You definitely want to use a mitt to paint...sloppy but effective.  Spraying wastes too much paint and you'll wind up missing lots of spots.


Make sure you remove any loose paint and it helps to give it a general roughing up with sand paper to help the adherence.  If you can wait I would suggest Labor Day weekend to buy the paint as they always have it on sale that weekend.  Plan on at least 2-3 gallons with that much tower if you use a mitt.
