So in a month or so i am planning on building a canoe (or 3). But first i need to get my existing canoe ready for this year. A previous owner did some patching to it, poorly, and then sprayed over it with a slightly different shade of green. I would like to repaint it. It is a fiberglass nova craft Tripper. I am planning on sanding it down and doing a bit of patching, then i want to paint the entire thing.... in an off-white/tan colour. Do i need to prime it? What kind of paint to use? I read someone here suggest oil based porch paint. I read somewhere else online someone suggest rattle cans, and then someone else say definitely not using spray paint. Has anyone here repainted a fiberglass canoe? What paint to use? Please help.
