How have you modified the predator?

Looks great! I'm still waiting on my predator. Ordered on the 6th of Jan.. should be coming soon. I plan on doing something similar. Did you use the bed liner on the platform top, bottom, and post or just the platform top?

I sprayed it all in bedliner. Primer first (white), black spray bed liner, then camouflage with sponges. I would take @Slipnslide 's advice and hit it with tan after the bedliner, then it won't be so dark (like mine). At least in the corners. Two or three coats of flat or matte clear coat to finish.

Thanks for the advice. Does the bedliner do a good job reducing the stands medal ting that I hear about?

Not sure, haven't put it back together yet. I would imagine it would help some. Might have to use pieces of stealth strip. We'll see.

Anyone replace the leveling bolt or put something on the post? Mine looks to be digging in a bit.
 
I used a felt pad that are normally used for the bottom of chairs. I haven't had any issues with it.

Combination of bad weather and the whole family being sick at once kept me inside for a few days, did let me update my predator though. Aluminum primer, spray on bedliner, sponge camo and flat clear coat. Tried to replicate Sitka's elevated II and burnt orange logo. View attachment 9614View attachment 9615
