Does anyone have any recommended paint brands for repainting treestands? Mine are starting to be in rough shape and I would like to fix them up before the season.

Any spray paint...choose shades of black brown and green. 3 cans (one each color) is plenty.
Yep, you can actually buy camo kits too that come with 4 colours or something. When I paint mine I just use brown and green krylon as the stand is already black. Tremclad would also work well. Get flat paints.Quote:

If they're rusted clean them up first and use a couple of coats.
it would be expensive but I wonder if anyone has used the spray on bedliner on one?
Just take the sandpaper to it.Quote:

Not necessary (but go ahead if you like) if using Trem-Clad. Wipe it down and spray it on.
Good old Trem-clad flat black works great!
clean any rust with a steel brush, then spray Trem clad rust inhibitor primer (grey), follow up with the rocker guard spray. to ensure good coverage hold a piece of card board behind the area you're painting. rocker guard is great it's a protecter and not as slippery when wet
Try Krylon Camouflage Flat paint(many stores have this spray paint)They come in 4 colors. I never use brown, just olive,black and khaki.
For many application throwing in light color actually greatly helps to break up the outline of the stand.
If it was me I would wait until after the season, as they will smell for a real long time. That will also give the paint a much better time to cure and harden properly before you go using it in the bush. Just a thought Travis.

Krylon works well, various colours, flat finish, my son did a feeder with this and it blends like it belongs.
Krylon works better than Tremclad as it is more chip resistant. First remove any rust and prime any bare metal. Wait until after the season to give it almost a year to air out.
