Put a New Coat of Paint on an Old Canoe!
- Sand the canoe with 220-320 grit paper to create an etched surface to which the paint can adhere.
- Wash the surface to ensure that it is free of grease, dust, dirt, etc.
- Apply Topside Marine Enamel using either a brush or a roller.
And that's it! You may want to apply a couple coats for durability and added protection, but the process is very simple. The big thing to remember here is that it's all about the prep work! Take the time to prepare the surface and the project will turn out beautifully!

The finish is beautiful, highlighting the wood, and the protection it will provide is unbeatable! See for yourself!
