What method are you guys using to paint the aluminum squirrel steps……any kind of primer or etching paint before you color up to your choice?
Wrap them in vet tape, then they're camo AND quiet.
I have 6 steps that I am using as a ROS.
I tried the Camo Form tape from EWO last, it did not hold up well.
What is VET tape?
I painted mine this summer with self etching primer and BBQ grill high temp paint.
Also put stealth strips on contact points.
Not sure how well the paint will hold up.
Vet wrap is tough to beat, though. Silences, cushions, conceals. Only downside is you need to reapply periodically.Use what works for you. Not everyone has the same methods or ways of doung things.
Not really a downside. If you get your gear wet and dirty it's all got to come off eventually. I called the stealth strip guy everything but a child of God the one time i had to get that stuff off a carabiner.Vet wrap is tough to beat, though. Silences, cushions, conceals.
