That color is highly visible in low
light. If it is a gfood boat colot shouldn’t matter, unless it is pink.
Paddle it like you love it
Sooner or later you will. Be loud, be proud. Mine’s a flaming red Tsunami. My wife thinks it’s sexy.
If you have snot green
you really should see a doc. Snot is usually clear if you’re healthy.
Then why did you buy it?

Is there some prep that would help the Krylomn Fusion paint to stick?

an honest man!
I propose this post be nominated into the pnet hall of fame for the frank honesty. I’m not a big fan of “leftover” boats either (my theory on these color blend kayaks is that they are made up of all the little poly scraps on the floor at the end of the week - sorta like chex mix!).
BUT (with the tune from “it’s not easy being green” playing in the background), orange can be safe in it’s visibility. And won’t capture heat like a darker boat. And the color blend may not show signs of wear as easily.
And like I said when I used to drive a SAAB 99, “it’s not ugly from the inside!”
Poly scrap kayaks are grey or black.

Hey, I’m offended…
I have a bright orange Kayak and I love it!
Just kidding, not offended, to each his own…
ugly boat
Looks are only kayak deep.
I hate my red kayak but with lots of stickers and earned respect(it has never let me down, been thousands of miles)…
I do not think of the colour anymore.
Yellow and red are better to be found by
And apparently he doesn’t know how
to apply that make-up properly, otherwise he would have no flaws in his make-up.

I love that color scheme. Plus it’s visible on the water. Really, who cares what color it is as long as you are paddling it. I say, you will get used to it.
Plus, chicks dig those wild colors! 
Thanks for all the replies
I realize now that I actually like the colour but its not the colour scheme I would normally choose for my self. it could be a case of been stuck in my comfort zone, hopefully I will get used to it. If chicks do like the colour, maybe it will get me a date, if that happens I will paint my truck fire colour, and my house( well on second thought maybe not the house)
Orange…
– Last Updated: Aug-28-08 8:58 PM EST –
I just bought an orange Capella 160. I actually would've liked the yellow but orange was the only color they had for the 160 and like you I got a great deal. It's actually orange with little red speckles.
I already have an orange Advanced Frame AF inflatable and my PFD is orange as is one of my pullovers so it works for me to have another orange boat so everything is a matched set. I like the fact that it's very visible. I paddle in areas where there tends to be a lot of boat traffic and it helps to be seen.
What I like about the Capella is that texture of the plastic. It's got speckling in it and it looks very nice. I like it a lot better than those really shiny plastic kayaks.
Actually the only color that I don't like (besides pink, which you couldn't pay me enough to have) is lime green.
become a Clemson fan and put all
that orage to good use.

on dirt bikes we can buy graphic kits to change the appearance or theme on the look of the motorcycle.
Maybe you can go to a sign shop that letters trucks with stickers and design something that compliments the colors of your kayak.
Tapeworks
I love them for their support of motorcyclists (make safe reflective tapes) and there’s no reason they wouldn’t be equally valuable on yak paddle blades or on the hull. I’ve had this in my head for a while now, and I’m going ahead with it. They make them in ‘stealth’ colors that don’t look like reflective colors, but light up like crazy when the light catches them.

I hate the color of your boat too.

Obvious question is why did you buy it then? Probable reason - good price. From a safety standpoint, yellow is a high-visibility color, greens and blue are terrible (DARK greens and blue…lime green and Robin’s egg are actually pretty good). Red is NOT a good high-vis’ color over longer distances. An overturned composite boat with a white hull gets lost by being the same color as wave crests so its all relative. I don’t think painting is the answer. I think a “For Sale” sign is your best bet - use the money to buy a color you like.
