FlyinBP Report post Posted August 5, 2021 All, I've got a tree from Chicago Stockyard Saddle Tree. It's the endurance model. Building this rig for my wife as an extremely lightweight/minimally covered tree. Basically, it's only going to have a small Motherhubbard style skirt, small seat leather, and thin stirrup leathers. The Cantle back and pommel will be exposed tree. That said, I'd like to neaten up the look of the exposed tree. I'd like a smooth white finish vs the gray plastic look. I'm apprehensive at just using paint, as that's pretty prone to chipping and scratching. The product I'm leaning towards using at the moment is Line-X Ultra. It's thin and extremely durable. Taking the tree to the Line-X guy soon for him to look at. The tree maker also mention Krylon plastic paint. I'm just concerned about finish durability. I wonder if I could put a semi-glossy/glossy epoxy over the paint, but the curved surface could present a challange. What are your thoughts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted August 5, 2021 You know that guy that puts a screen door in the bottom of his boat coated with some sort of plastic spray?? That comes in white now, I believe. That may hold up and be less expensive than Line-X. You can buy it at big box home improvement stores. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
