Do you need the webbing?

My trekking poles were very shiny and painted with garish granola muncher colors. I took them apart, taped what I didn't want painted and hung them in the garage. I used Krylon matte black, khaki and brown like FDE. I shot the base color (black) and let it dry. Then I just random shot the next color as I saw fit. The edge of the spray gives it a muted effect. When the second color was dry, the third was shot.

I was very pleased with the overall effect. It was a very muted three color, no discernible pattern paint job. It has lasted very well except on the lower extension that is in the snow or vegetation. It also wears off when I collapse them to use as shooting sticks. Overall, it has lasted since 2007.
