how to camo a canoe?

Postby duckkiller » Sat Oct 17, 2009 12:11 pm

How would you camo a canoe? My old canoe I just painted and it was ok but scratched off easily(it was alum). This new one is white fiberglass and I want to do it right. What do yall think I should do?

This Canoe is fiberglass. Yes, the rails do chip off a little every season.
And the Rustolm CAMO paint works real well. Walmart for $5 a can.

Yes.
That one was painted about 10 years ago. Best as I can remember, I just rough sanded it a little.
