    Color of cedar

    What shade of green have y'all used to paint a deer stand to help it blend into some cedars?

    Green screen green works for me.

      I wouldn't worry too much about that, just pick out a green and go with it. You could paint it pink and the critters would get used to it pretty quick.

          Black and gray verticle zebra striped. I always crammed mine up under the trees, so I matched the tree trunks and not the leaves.

            Purple with orange pokey dots will work also

              This ^^^

              Critters will be more spooked from the smell of fresh paint than what color it is. Most critters are color blind anyway

                  Are you just trying to blend it in for personal aesthetics? I can somewhat understand doing that for certain situations. Like maybe for a small lot where you have a main drive that goes past it or something like that. If you are doing it for the critters, don't even bother worrying about it. Find oops pain that is brownish/greenish in the paint section that is on sale.

                  My favorite looking blinds are the ones we sheathed with old cedar fence pickets. They really just blend into the environment and don't stick out like a sore thumb and don't need to be repainted.

                    Not worried about 4 legged animals at all. This stand is visible from the main entrance road. The last user of it painted it an ugly green gloss that makes it stick out like a sore thumb. West Texas and on a section of scaffold, so no hiding it in the trees. I thought if I could get something close to cedar the old stand might not stick out so much. Thanks.

                      I took a cedar branch to home depot and had them color match it. It turned out pretty close.

                        Don't forget to paint some little blue berries on it to blend in. You will be surprised how much that helps.

                          No matter, the deer would get used to it if it were fluorescent pink.

                              Black. Looks like a big shadow. No problems.
