re: turning big yellow yak into hunting machine

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.
