[caddyjosh]

I used a stencil kit from styx-river.com to camo my Yamaha outboard. The outboard was hard to do, I think a jon boat would be a lot easier.

That paint came out awesome! Good job!

Thank you Jim, I learned a few things doing that and will be glad to share tips.

I camo painted my compond bow when I was a teen. I used leaves I picked up in the area I hunted and from around the house. If I wanted a green leaf, paint a spot with green, hold the l;eaf over the green then sprayed a differant color over the leaf. I think I used drab green, brown, tan and black. If doing a boat, you might want something that would last longer than a leaf.

How much does the styx-river stencil kit cost? The end result looks great!

That's a handy link, thanks!

A stencil can be made from anything, and being camo, it doesn't have to be perfect. Go get a cardboard box, trace, cut, spray through, then toss when you're done.

Make your own, it a heck of a lot cheaper and here is what you can get. I used thick plastic from an old square trash can will have to post pics of them when I get home in two days if I remember.

Thanks. I am considering hand painting my other boat like this guy did https://www.duckhuntingchat.com/viewtopic.php?t=39745&highlight=paint not sure if it would be worth the time. Would be real eye catching for the humans, but not critical for the birds.
