So I bought a canoe last week and the paint on the bottom is pealing off. So I talked to the people who made the canoe and they said to use ABS plastic paint. Now my question is, WTF is abs plastic paint? The google didn't help and the guys at lowes and auto zone looked at me like I was crazy. All I've figurd out is how to put t on and that it isn't a spray paint. Any idea on what this stuff is/looks like and where I can get it?

if the surface is pretty rough you will want to sand it smooth and be sure to prep the area well (clean) before spraying, use alot of light coats

What youll want to do is, scuff off the existing paint, to were no more is peeling off.... Scotchbrite pad will work great, youll want to apply an adhesion promoter, can get it in an aerosol can at home depot, but the stuff at Dunn Edwards is alot better. The ABS plastic paint will stick with this ALOT better, the different in the plastic paint is that it is flexible. If you use a standard paint itll just crack right off.

ABS paint is paint equipped with a state-of-the-art anti-lock braking system. Duh.

I got some krylon "fusion" plastic paint and it worked pretty well. Used it on my fenders on my bike and it held up for a couple seasons, and that's without the best prep/technique. Would buy again.

I used some white on the plastics of a sand bound dirtbike. It looked good from 5 feet and held up for 3 years.

yeah, mine was not pretty but if I had planned better/cared I would have gotten clear fenders and painted the inside. It comes out as a very "flat" appearance, rather than gloss...if that bothers you. Maybe they make a clearcoat?

The white I used had a good gloss to it. It also cleaned up well with Simple Green. No Oregon mud stains or nothing.
