Rpm Blue What's the best way to go about painting my whitewater kayak?
I just bought my first kayak (Dagger RPM Max) and breaking into the sport this summer, and that giant blue canvas is calling out for me to make it my own.
Is there a certain kind of paint to use? Is it bad to paint it for any specific reason (like for skis there's a plastic outer layer, so I've always stayed away from painting them)? Anyone else painted their boat?
Don't paint it. Polyethylene, the material the kayak was molded from, does not form a good bond with any paint. All you are going to do is leave a trail of paint flakes wherever you paddle. Most of the whitewater paddlers I paddle with try to be eco-friendly and wouldn't appreciate pollution only for the sake of style.
