I want to paint some designs on my kayak....(And no, lowprofile, it's not going to be an EGA) ;)

From what I have been reading, you cannot succsessfully 'paint' on PE. I was going to try Krylon Fushion to see if that would work.

Anyone know of another brand/type?

Note: I don't care about the paint scratching off from daily use. I just want it to adhere and be somewhat impermeable to salt water.

Thanks!

I had pretty good results with the krylon fusion on a kayak a couple years back. Just do your due dilligence in the prep work. I wouldnt reccomend doing it, but it can be done.

Fusion works pretty well.

I've had my name installed since September as his first test on the durability of the vinyl on a Yak, which gets beat up every time I'm out and is in constant contact with Salt water. So far, so good ! :)
