I think I remember reading in here about someone spray painting the inside of their blind black, but couldn't find it with the search option. I seem to remember you should use a special auto paint for best results. Anyone remember the specifics?
what kind of blind are you painting? Isn't the inside dark from shadow?
an old ameristep doghouse. before they were black on the inside. And no not really. on a bright day you can see a movement from the outside.
I tried to darken my DB (before they did the dark stuff)Called them and got some black paint they reccommended from Auto Zone. Don't remember the type. I used about 6 cans and can barely tell I put any on.
Maybe the ameristep will work better. Be careful of fumes.

Hey Buddy...I have a Great Idea!!!...Just turn your blind inside-out. Remember you read it here first!!!... :rolleyes: ...

but Mike, then it would be pink! wait, that didn't sound right. uh, sorry everyone, "inside" joke. Long live the bunny hunt. :)
come on, someone here tried painting their blind. I know I couldn't be the first to try this here.
Brent I planned on using exterior latex paint on one I built years ago but never got around to it. Would add a bit of weight to the blind though but should work well.
I use cans of black vinyl automotive dye.
I also tried the black automotive paint. Don't know if I used the woring stuff or what, but like MacBow it didn't work well at all. I sold the blind and bought a DB Matrix recurve model with the black interior.
I tried it too using the black auto paint that was recommended with same poor results. Also sold blind.
Go to your local auto parts store and get a vinyl dye called "Mar Hyde". It is the best fabric dye in a spray can I have ever used.
we were told to use black acrylic spray paint.

I posted about two years ago wanting to know if anyone had any suggestions for painting the inside of my blind. I have an Ameristep doghouse made before the black interior. Never got any ideas that sounded like they would work. I'm going to try the Mar Hyde if I can find some.
