I put two coats of kilz primer on mine and then painted with an exterior latex for 2 coats. Then finally camo spray paint on top of that.


my base coat of paint for the camo was a pastel green/grey.

I should have used a straw color for base coat as it would have made camo easier.


Honestly, for durability, I wish I would have used an epoxy paint normally designed for fiberglass boats. I have used it in the past and it dries so hard it is damn near impossible to chip. The paint is much more expensive though.
