Summit tree stand paint peeling

[swampdrummer]

Just bought a Summit Open Shot last week through Amazon. Noticed a few places where the paint had chipped off during shipping and didn't think too much about it.I was messing around with the stand today and noticed that a LOT of paint is chipping away. Seems like the slightest touch and the paint is coming off.
I know I could send it back for a refund/exchange but I'd really rather not as our season starts in just 2 weeks. And I like the stand! As long as the paint coming off isn't indicative of some sort of structural problem I'll probably just zap it with a spray can and not worry. Just curious as to if anybody else has run into this.

I have had it happen to all my summits that I have owned. If you want send them a email and I bet they will send you a new one no questions asked. You will justhave to send back your stand in the bow with a shipping label they provide for you.

my stands have chipped a little here and there over the years so i went and bought a couple cans of the rubber paint in a can and sanded the old paint off and sprayed the stand using small branches as a pattern and it worked great, plus it made the platform have a little more grip for my boots

Yep both my Summits did it. I just got some Krylon paint and did it up. I sold them both last year cause I couldn't climb anymore.

Had this problem before to me but my stands were at least 5 years old.I went to walmart and bought some camo krylon paint.They look better than factory now.

Thanks guys.
Sounds like I'm not the only one out there that this is happening to.I'll grab a can of krylon next trip to Lowes and not worry about it.
