I’ve got a little carolina skiff and was thinking about trying to paint it for a duck boat. Any ideas on what or how to do this. I can build a blind to cover most of it but since it is white felt like I still need to paint it. If I did paint I wanted to make it look good because I do use it it for other things, just wasn’t really wanting the bad do-it-yourself paint job. Any suggestions would be great even ones other then painting if anyone has any. Thanks
You might take a look at a wrap. They sell that vinyl stuff in camo patterns. I’ve seen several trucks done with it and it looks bad-@ss and is very durable. A buddy of mine in New Mexico did his Dodge and it goes through the thorn brush really well.

Thought about a wrap, anybody ever done one themselves?
wrap = big$. paint yourself for less than $60 if your boats not too big.
Do you have an air compressor? Gravity fed paint gun is cheap at Lowes. Buy a good two part marine hull paint(1 Qt), prep it right, mix it right and spray away. Not too difficult, cheap and lots of tips to be found by Googling.

Inquired about wrap and was told that it is shiny. If its true I would not want it for ducks. I have not seen it for myself, just the ■■■■■■■■ I got from looking on the web.
isnt water shiny?
just asking, I know less than nothing about duck hunting, and what spooks them and what doesnt, it would just seem to me, that sun shinning on the water, would be pretty shiny, like when the tide is in the grass, and a little ripple on the water, light shines everywhere.
a wrap is very durable, and looks good. also, like ECU said, a little prep work, a paint gun, and some “perfection” paint from interlux, will make a pretty good finish, and much easier to use than awldrip, I mean awlgrip…
