Why didn't you remove the bungee cords?

you forgot to mask off the seat with Blue masking tape --- blue tape does not stick on and leave stickyness... great video....

Surveillance satellite images suggested that someone was camouflaging a torpedo so they sent in those military planes we heard in the background to check it out.

iviewthetube - 7 years ago

Where did that kayak on the saw horses go?
Oh, there it is. Damn, that was a good camouflaging job.

How'd it hold up over the years?

Derek Perez - 7 years ago

Great job, my question is how did it hold up?

Broke Yakin - 7 years ago

It lasted about 6 months with minor touch ups where the most friction occurs.

Have the same kayak in lime green hahah this is the last thing I need to do now to be more happy with it. Amazon helped pimp the hell out of it already with like 50 more bucks, added some sticky sand paper to the whole front. Me and my colly will be cruisin in style now haha good video, simple and well explained and came out with a nice finished product. Thanks

Thank you for the video, I bought the same kyack and was looking to spruce it up, with this tutorial I was able to get an idea and use the camo pattern and paint. The plants worked great!

John Hilsmeyer - 8 years ago

came out great..I'm kayak hunting and this will be the first thing I do.. I think the Krylon Fusion is the way to go on this..! one thing I'd recommend is clear coat it A TON of times tho!

Broke Yakin - 8 years ago

Thanks! I apply 2 cans worth of clear coat after every paint job. It will scratch if you abuse it, but in 3 years I have never seen it fade.

APCPscorp - 8 years ago

Kick ass brother, just inspired me to paint my yak

Glide1746 - 9 years ago

How did the paint hold up after a few years? I'm thinking about painting my kayak 1 solid color. It's all faded from the sun.... Thanks for the video.

Broke Yakin - 9 years ago

+Glide1746 It needs a touch up from scratching from time to time, but the parts that don't get scratched are still going strong.

Karma Lotus - 9 years ago

Has the paint lasted with the water usage?

Broke Yakin - 9 years ago

+Karma Lotus I've never had a problem with the paint fading from the water or sun, but it will get scratched up over time if you're not careful. A quick reapplication in the same format over the scratched area will fix it.

therealjandiman - 9 years ago

Thanks for the post. I'm about to buy a particular model of kayak that unfortunately for me, only comes in one colour here in Australia....Mango. It's ok, but I'd rather something more akin to the destination's I'm gonna fish. Awesome job.

+nyinfamous2k2
No, my canoe was puke red, any color I don't like I use the word puke in front of it to show my distaste for that color. And if you ever notice red is always the first color to fade in the sun and look like crap. ALWAYS! When I worked in a sign shop fpr a few months I found this out, it's a really good color to keep a sign shop in work touching up about every 6 months, and none of the other primary colors fade near that fast, yellow, green & blue take years. In thew sun, Red turns to puke in 6 months. I like my Lime Green kayak, but my puke red canoe is getting a make over paint job, just like yours.

nyinfamous2k2 - 9 years ago

+Parrot Bill LOL "Puke Red"????? damn man, if your puking Red then I think you might have a problem. lol

Parrot Bill - 9 years ago

+Broke Yakin
I'm using your video as a tutorial to make my new Puke Red Canoe look good. I wanted Green but all Bass Pro had was this Sun Faded Puke Red Canoe with scratches "from shipping" with $100.00 discount, so I held my nose and bought it. You have given me a great idea on how to make it look better. It's like you don't have to be an artist to have a great looking personal water craft! Just use the art God gave us in nature to paint it with. Thanks for sharing!

Broke Yakin - 9 years ago

+Parrot Bill Thanks!

Maxwell Gunter - 9 years ago

What kind of paint do you think works best? like what adheres and overcomes water the best? is any Spray paint going to be somewhat waterproof? Thanks nice video

Maxwell Gunter - 9 years ago

+Broke Yakin thanks a lot!

Broke Yakin - 9 years ago

+Max Gunter Krylon makes a paint specifically designed for use on plastics and they work well. That paint with a clear coat lasts a long time. I've never had any of my paint jobs fade or peel off except for areas of high friction when using that paint.

cracking video dude, also loved the rawness of the video. I have just brought a pair of old battered Kayaks and will treat them to an overhaul. thinking of attaching some kind of camera mount and going to need something to put belongings in

William Boice - 10 years ago

bbbkrr - 10 years ago

Always wanted to paint one of my kayaks camo but I often wonder how the paint would withstand dragging the painted hull against gravel when portaging between rivers or to/and from the vehicle - has anyone tried?

Brady Crafton - 10 years ago

I have the exact same kayak! I just wanted to know if the paint is holding up? I would love to put this paint job on mine but im worried about it chipping if i ran onto a rock bank or into some brush. Anyways great vid! Please get back with me!

Cody Schroer - 10 years ago

looks incredible. I"m going to do mine this week. Mine kayak is already a light kaki color. Do I just need to sand it or should I put a base coat down first?

Broke Yakin - 10 years ago

You should always sand it the first time, but you may need a base coat depending on the color you're going for.

Michael Smith - 10 years ago

looks good, I like it.

Michael Hall - 10 years ago

I painted my kayak with spray paint and it looked awesome . . . at first. then the paint began to peel. It was camo so it doesn't look too bad, but still it peeled. I put a clear coat on it also. Just giving you my experience.

Broke Yakin - 10 years ago

That's what it does, but a couple blasts with a khaki and some foliage spray and it disappears.

ksharris74 - 10 years ago

Awesome job guy. real great. just bought my kayak..the ugliest whitish purple and I want to paint it..everyone says I can't. I'M GONNA TRY..Your's came out brilliant and I loved the rawness of your video. thumbs up brother.

Warchild - 10 years ago

It's crazy how such a simple technique results in a kick ass paint job. I did the same thing with palm frawns on a surfboard, but with blues, and I couldn't believe how good it looked. Anyway, great job man!

Chris - 10 years ago

How well has the paint been holding up? I am thinking about just doing the bottom to hide from fish but still be seen by boaters.

Alfonso Romo - 11 years ago

Looks good..imma try it

Broke Yakin - 11 years ago

Flat would be better if you want a true camo look, but I like to be as shiny as possible because boaters around here like to drink. It's holding up great, I take it out pretty much everyday. The only time the paint comes off is when I scratch it along something but I touch it up with OD green camo paint and you can hardly tell it has been patched. I might paint it again this weekend just for fun.
