Repainting treestands

[Useless]

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.

Should I prime it before painting?

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.

As for the bedliner suggestion, I wouldnt recommend it if you plan on moving the stand much......would add a ton of weight I think but would probably last forever.

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!

[Flatliner]

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.
