Thanks everyone for your input. I will go to Home Depot today and see what they can do. I'll look into the porch and deck enameI. I bought the 2020 masking tape and I'm hoping once I have a coat of paint on the kayak it will stick better. I know the frog tape doesn't work nor does the blue tape. This is my first build and I really want it to look great. Thanks for the hint on painting the edges of the tape --I would never have thought of that. And also for the tip on burnishing the edge of the tape.

Thanks so much for getting back to me on the painting of Nemo. My biggest problem seems to be finding the oil base paint for the orange that can be tinted and doesn't cost $40 a quart. Any leads for the paint would be appreciated. I live in NY--low VOC state.

I have built what I am calling a playboat--similar to a recovery kayak but with variations. I have covered it with polyester following the directions in Jeff's book. I would like to paint it in more than one color and I was wondering if there is a way to stop the colors from bleeding into each other? I really love Jeff's Nemo and if he doesn't mind I would like to copy it. I live in NY and finding oil base house paint so I can get it tinted is a big problem. Thanks, Ann
