Title: Painting a PVC Boat
Post by: Clarki Hunter on April 03, 2021, 11:43:02 AM

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a PVC inflatable boat that's in need of a touch up.  It's in good shape other than how it looks.  I was thinking about giving it nice grey paint job but wanted to get some opinions.  Anyone done this before, that has some advice?

Thanks

there is a number of products for this as well as cleaners etc. Most of the local inflatable maintenance shops will do this as well. Most of the paints are reported to work better on PVC than hypalon. Do some google searches:
