I just paint the stand in a flat color depending on what type of tree I plan on hunting out of. For example, if I'm planing on putting it in a beach, I'd paint it flat gray. If in a shaded area, I'd paint it flat black. But I think I paint it more so other hunters will not see it more then I worry about deer seeing it. Since it is stationary I don't worry too much about the deer seeing it.

I believe that there is a paint out there atsko for hunters that does not contain any uv brightners. You may want to check that out.
