Default Touch up painting a kayak

"Arleen" wrote in message


Any suggestions for touch up painting an older kayak where the designs are
worn away? Kind of paint/brush???
TIA ;-)



If I read the question correct it is intended to improve the appearance
rather than the speed/performance. I agree that painting/waxing of the
underside will have little if any effect. As someone who teaches/coaches
sprint and marathon racing the actual paddling action is far more
important than if the underside is scratched. A good paddle action is
essential as it will not only move the boat more efficiently but will
require less energy expenditure on behalf of the paddler.
