My S&G kayaks are painted with plain old TremClad or the Home Hardware
equivilent. It's tough, comes in lots of colors, and is bug-simple to apply.
Never any problem getting a color match, long as there's a Home Hardware
somewhere in the neighborhood.

Hi,

I know there have been other discussions on painting but I would like to
hear from those of you who didn't use the standard "marine" paint. I'm
pretty sure there were at least a couple of people who used exterior latex
or alkalyd paints. Personally I don't see why a good exterior paint would
be
just as good.

What do you have to say about your decision to use the cheaper
alternative?

Thanks
