Can you paint a pop up?

I painted a Doghouse blind over 10 years ago. I bought it cheap, on sale with bright red and gold maple leaves. I painted it with a couple cans of Krylon Camp spray. I need to look in the DIY section, I may have posted the project on TBH. It's held up, and last year I had it set up on county land next to us for pronghorns, an early snowfall knocked it down and covered it for the winter. I found it this spring and used it again.

Yes, I've done it.

If it's been there that long the camo is to make you feel good. The deer don't care if it turn hot pink. It's just there

Right! Doesn’t bother them at all. But I’d like to conceal it from prying eyes a little better

Youve got nothing to lose by painting it. Pop ups don’t last forever anyway.

Spray it on location with a good oil based exterior house paint IF it is in a permanent location. It will last a few years.

Yessir. I’ve had several years and take down at seasons end. It’s a huge Baronett blind

Better to paint it than let it take direct sun on the fabric. I check on a pop up I left out all year because I just didn't make the time to go take it down. The fabric was so brittle it ripped just adding a little pressure to it. It's ruined. I typically try and let a brown tarp over it when I put it up..

That would have been a good idea

Eat sleep repeat right? It’s a great pop up and huge. How about you pony up the cash and buy me a new one for Christmas bro!

Get a Krivo and call it dunnn!

[Hogmauler]

That’s a huge jump from a pop up to a Krivo. Not gonna shell out that kinda money for something I can repaint.

I've painted the window flaps before. Gets the deer used to seeing a black hole all the time instead of just when you are there. Regular spray paint lasts about a year before it fades.

Yes

[rolylane6]

Absolutely!

It's a must in my opinion, because out of the box most are way too shiny (particularly the roof) and on a sunny day the shine makes them stick out like a sore thumb regardless of the camo pattern.

I paint mine with Extra FLAT spray paint for that reason.

Painted the last one 3 years ago and it still looks great!

I do a base layer of light tan, then large black tree limbs with a gray under shadow.

paint on fabric holds up well. Spray paint tho. No brush or rollers. And don't spray it too thick so it becomes stiff.
