well, i have had this girth belt now for like 3-4 months, and have been dragging my ssa and procrastinating in getting it colored :facepalm...well, not sure who's thread it was, but saw that they spray painted it with some brown krylon paint, and thought "hey, that is what i am going to do with mine" ... so, here it is, i still have a little touching up to do on the insides of the rope pieces, but i think its coming along nicely ....there has been discussion of how "brown" or "red" the ESB girth belt is, so, i used mostly Ruddy Brown Krylon color with a Heritage Red Rustoleum color mixed in...i think it may be a tad to red, but i still like it ...let me know what you guys think...
