Paint jobs

[tryhard]

I think this one has already been done but I can't find the thread so here goes - How do people feel about putting a bit of "war paint (camoflague)" on boats effective or not ? - opinions please.

Thats a tough question. You reckon anyone's willing to cam they're boat up to find out.
The yanks seem to be into it, for duck shooting (check this link)

Its a got a touch of the "rednecks" about it
;)

I think that between the noise a boat makes in the water (no matter how quiet) and the fact that a fish in tune with its enviroment is probably going to notice the floating lump hundreds of times its own size, Its probably not going to make much difference. My thoughts only, I cold be dead wrong.

I fixed up a friends 5m canadian canoe a few years back in the N.T., I wanted to paint it up in nilsmaster #67 lure colours. But he wouldn't be in it, something about he'd be the unlucky prick to find a croc that would take a 5m lure.

I reckon a bream boat pianted in your favourite hb colours would be wild, mmmm scorpian 4350 pink tiger stripe (floating):D

- Depends what you are trying to camouflage your boat against. If you want to hide it in the reeds and blast the s#@t out of those "greatest threats to mankinds survival" - the duck, then camo could be effective, but to a fish, or anything else underwater, you're gonna stand out like dog's proverbials, because of the sillouhette effect of that big ball of flame above you. White would have to be the closest cover you could have - hey just look to nature; look at a white pointer, they can almost appear invisible - white on the belly, so anythig looking up sees white (for the few seconds before getting chomped in 2 !)
