DIY Camo Paint Job: Turn an Old Kayak Into a New Duck Boat
- 5 years ago
With a little paint, and a bunch of elbow grease, you can make nearly any piece of equipment disappear into its surroundings.
Most commercial camo patterns are available in DIY stencil packs, but you don’t need to get that specific to trick ducks or other wildlife. Applying a random pattern with a sponge effectively breaks up your outline and goes on quickly and easily. As a bonus, it’s simple to repair when you inevitably gouge your boat on the rocks.
I’ve used a kayak in this video, but you can utilize the same process on your cooler or deer cart. I’ve used this method to rehab more old boats than I’ve told my wife about, and the paint jobs have held up to an incredible amount of abuse.
