On purple paint, I haven't looked it up but have unofficially heard that it may need to be 12 inches, top to bottom to be legal. I've seen a lot of guys just throw an old tyre over a fencepost, and paint that.

For our ranch, the pipe posts every 100 ft were entirely painted purple from top to bottom.

Big, tall, girthy, permanent, tornado-resistant, heavy metal pipes, dipped in purple paint; top-to-bottom.

Is that not a problem? According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant.

Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality.

I think he's fine. The regs are mostly about making sure that the paint is able to be seen, i.e., at roughly chest height to eye level, no high bushes or other obstructions, etc. That's because most trespassers will try to claim that they didn't or couldn't see the paint. I think his painted posts are fairly obvious, would definitely hold up in court.

i figure using both purple marks on trees and posts, as well as standard no trespassing/hunting/trapping/etc signs that have the contact info of the lands owner is as about as unbeatable a notice as can be reasonably expected. for example i dont have full fencing around my boundaries but it would be awful hard to not see some warning no matter what direction you approach.

i know the company i bought a stack of metal no trespassing/hunting etc signs had hints on how to secure against vandals (who would rip them down if too easily secured) , weather and time in the pack. as someone mentioned already lots of bullet holes in signs around here. signs like that are bullet magnets heh
