Painting Camera Tripod

[brimmyfish]

I bought this black camera tripod during deer season and it worked great while hunting out of a blind with my Sony Handycam. I would like to paint it to give it a camo look for turkey season. I will use it sometimes while in a blind, but most of the time it will not be. Any advice on painting this thing to help it blend in? Paint brands, colors, techniques? I just dont want it to be an eyesore for a longbeard when he comes in.

You can buy camo spray paint at Wal mart.

just get some spray paint and take a paper plate and cut you out some lines or shapes so you can spray thru the paper plate to put a pattern on the tripod..get you a can of gray primmer and couple more colors and your good to go...

Thanks for the replies. I am wondering if paint will stick to the original black paint, or should I scuff it up with some sandpaper before I start?

You know you could try some of that camo tape that sticks to itself its call camo form and its reusable..and wrap it in that...that might work better..than paint..

I would use Camo tape,  spray paint gets roughed up pretty easily.  I rap my legs with pipe insulation and then tape it with camp tape.  If you don't like it you can just take it off

Could also do a Mossy Oak vinyl wrap

camo duct tape is about $5 a roll...works dandy

Rustoleum camo paint & clear coat. I just painted this tripod last week, hopefully it holds up as well as my shotgun has. I did the pattern with sea sponge.

Remember to prep the surface...I lightly sanded it with fine grit for painting, then wiped everything down with a damp microfiber cloth.

I did the vinyl wrap on mine, super easy! Found some sheets on sale and I think it turned out great.

That looks very good.

That paint job will definitely work especially since it will be stationary. Good luck.
