Painting will not work unless you are willing to strip the hull and go through a ton of prep, then paint with two part epoxy paint. PM me for instructions on getting a new decal set.

really? i cant just sand it and paint it at all? keep in mind this boat is no gem i dont need any flake or anything i was hoping a solid black or something? it is an ugly faded gold color right now but still fishes like a dream!

If you just sand the finish and use a two part paint, it will stick...pretty much. If you use any other paint it will peel off pretty quickly.
