Paint choice?
Posted by: kayak_bob on Sep-25-12 12:42 PM (EST)

Thanks!

For this option, would want to cover the wood grain and just have the smooth colors (to manyan atrocity...I know...)

For the paddles you saw that were painted in smooth colors - they had a varnish/polyurethane/clear epoxy on top? Do you know if it matters if I use an epoxy paint vs some cheapo krylon spray paint (easier to come to a closer match in colors)- when I use a varnish/polyurethane/clear epoxy on top?

Thanks!
