I know I saw somewhere on here about painting kayaks, but I have looked and can't find it. We need to press the PA into hunting service. so what do y'all think is the best way? making a blind, COCO? Painting, camo plastidip, a wrap?
That's a lot of yellow to hide.......

fastest way/best way is to buy a chapman. You'll destroy that fancy paddle drive thing in the mud/shells/stumps. g'luck

Kayak and ATV plastics have a ton of oil in them, and are very difficult to paint.
No matter what you use, it will peel/flake off if you hit anything.
The correct method would cost you almost as much as a new kayak - plastic adhesion primer such as Bulldog, then auto paint.
If you still want to do it and do it cheap - sand the whole thing down with 320 grit sandpaper, wipe down with wax & grease remover (or acetone), and use Krylon Fusion paint on it.

I would make a blind. But if you do decide to paint it, make sure you get some paint that is plastic-approved so you don't hurt the yak. Another option would be to get some vinyl cut for it, but that would probably be $$$$.
Here is my yak blind, and you can't really see the yak when on the water:

camo netting or bolts of camo cloth wrapped around it.
or buy something brown or drab in the first place.

Trade it for an Olive Drab PA.

Burlap and camo netting will be good enough. Once you get set up use a little native grass and brush to blind in.
I think stashing it and hunting away from it if its shallow is the best bet though.
