Does it seem like dipping a Ropeman would work? With the inner part moving independently I wonder if it would be an issue.

Not sure about that, but painting it does not work. I tried it and it comes rite off.

It will work much better than painting. Rope and biner friction is still going to rub off whatever you apply to the exterior.

One more thing....the cam cleats are blotch painted, not dipped. You can blotch paint to blend in other components that can't be camo dipped. I would not camo dip any cam cleats, especially the Harken. They have ball bearings that could potentially seize up.

Here's my carabiner and rope man, painted with a flat tan and blotched with a flat brown. Seems to come off the ropeman fairly easily. as I suspected it would. There is just a lot of weighted friction from the rope and biner.

To me, it still looks better than some tiny orange becon being in your face all day! I'm a little crazy though...LOL.

I may try to camo dip it next year.

Looks like some OCD there.

I can't believe you would let that little bit of orange show like that.

Let's see yours big boy!! Oh wait, don't show it, because yours most likely won't show ANY friction!

Lol...you made me do it!

Yep, I suspect nearly 100% of us are, at least to some degree. That's what led us down the path to the saddle. It's been an adventurous journey and I've enjoyed it.

Would cerakoting hold up better than paint? I have no experience with coating anything but would like to change the colors of my biners and ropemans

I would think cerakoting would be the best alternative overall.

These are actually Harken cam cleats. I had some Ronstan ones that I used somewhere else.

Where have you been all my life. I don't know how I missed that these cleats are available. Oh I have so many ideas.....

Well the ones I found in my local store in the past weren't quite right. These look to be in a size I can use.

@Arkrider Is blotch painting simply applying the darker paint (flat brown in this case) to a cloth of some sort and dabbing it around? It looks so good!

That's correct. Just use a sponge and that will give you the pattern.
