[@ranhen8951]

Fantastic job, going to do the same when my predator stand gets here on Thursday. or maybe put the stealth tape cant decide yet or both lol

[@seanpower9944]

[@JoshSmith-md8cd]

Dude that looks sick, it’s funny because I was looking into buying a tree stand

[@hammercg59vet70]

You really need primer made for aluminum.I painted my Summit,beautiful job I must add.Started to chip three weeks into the season.Very shiny metal exposed.

[@jhuntley575]

I never had that problem maybe I got lucky

[@steves7345]

I never clear coat my stands I have climbers and hang on that I just throw a few colors on and leave it because most are factory black color so if it chips just more black shows

[@stevebrown3408]

Looks good can you paint the straps too ?

[@averagejackarchery]

You could, but honestly I doubt it would hold. Clothing dye would be better.

[@jhuntley575]

Great looking paint job and i like using that platform. I use my older DIY platforms for presets. Wont be long and we will be back at it. I moved into drt climbing last year and really enjoy it. Im curious if you are into that as well?

I'm a stick and saddle kind of guy myself.

How’s the paint holding up?

[@tatoo190]

Looks great, it just would’ve been nice to see at least a little of you actually painting

[@averagejackarchery]

Yeah I have serious regrets not spending more time on it. Camera issues and life around the house added some hiccups to a full film. Thankfully it's just a dab with the sponge and a lot of time. Nothing fancy going on thankfully. I'm far from and artist!

How did it hold up?

[@averagejackarchery]

Really well! Some running off on the sharp edges that come in contact with the boot soles, but otherwise it's in great shape.

[@MINIHAHA1]

Hey what sticks are you using

[@averagejackarchery]

Tethrd Skeletors now.

[@MINIHAHA1]

@@averagejackarchery I have the xop sticks and they are nice but I'm not liking the single step that much anymore. And they are a bit heavy. I'm looking for some other options. Thanks for getting back to me.
