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.

There are numerous sources of spray fabric dyes in aerosol cans found on the internet. I don't know what you might have available locally but that's where I'd begin my search.

I've used regular old Krylon spray paint. It didn't hurt the blind at all. Let it sit in the sun for a few days to dry and for the smell to go. These blinds have later been used on pronghorn and bear.

I mist all of my new popup deer blinds and waterfowl layout blinds with a tan Krylon spray to knock the shine down. Easier and longer lasting than "mudding" the fabric. I don't see why you couldn't use a heavier coat as elkantlers suggested.

I haven't found the Krylon brand being sold in Peru. But I should go on a hardware store hunt for spray paint.....
