Painting a Pop-Up Hunting Hide ➔ How?
I bought a pop-up hunting hide (Summit Cobra Realtree*) (or is it called a blind instead of a hide??).
I live in the desert — so "realtree" and any of the other vegetation-colors are out....
➔ I need sand color — desert beige!!
[Yes, when I bought it I knew the color wouldn't work — I just didn't find an affordable option in my field color. ]
Note: I don't want other hunters seeing my hide from far away — so the camou has to work for both animals and humans....
So, what suggestions do you have to change the color of my hunting hide to beige?
(1) Spray paint?
➔ Will the fabric get damaged? What type of paint should I avoid?
(2) Require my quarry to wear beige-tinted glasses so that my hide will blend in with the desert sand?
➔ They might not have a nose apt to wear glasses.
(3) Cut pieces of beige fabric and attach them to the outsides of the hide?
➔This would make it heavier, and worse: the sliding windows won't work, this is hugely important to me.
(4) Have a seamstress make a new hide, just use the hardware from the store-bought one?
(5) Other options?
Thanks for your help.
