[QUOTE="scn, post: 3516802, member: 1859"] I buy all of my stands on clearance at the end of the season. Early in the summer I paint them all before putting them up weeks later. Painting early makes sure the paint smell is gone before putting them up. I use a base color of dark gray auto primer and then another 2-3 colors to camo. The painting serves a couple of purposes. It definately make the stand blend into the surroundings MUCH better. And, it provides another layer or two of paint to keep the rust away. I have a couple that have been out 10+ years and haven't rusted at all. After hearing of several very serious accidents, I also add a chain and turnbuckle to the stand. The chain, links, turnbuckle, paint probably adds $15-18 to the cost. But, spread out over 10+ years, it doesn't amount to much. [/QUOTE]
