The paint job looks great and the camo vinyl looks great also. One thing I learned the hard way was when I painted an aluminum riser the first time. I wet sanded it but along the edges I god a little to aggressive and got down to the bare metal. When I painted it the primer and paint would eventually rub off on those areas down to bare metal again. Haven’t made that mistake since. Others I have painted I just used steel wool to smith everything out then oriented and painted over the old finish. They have held up very well.
 
I didn’t paint any limbs for a long time but after I had a couple of older sets started getting kind of beat up from 3D shoots and being in and out of the woods I figured I wasn’t going to sell them anyway so what the heck. Came our pretty good. Just used Rustoleum camo colors and they have held up well. I even repainted a set this summer. Used a little steel wool to smooth them out and shot a thin new paint job over top. They are great. I just try to be careful not to really lay the paint on heavy and they have been fine.
