I have a fairly old "Lincoln" canoe I would like to re-paint. I don't even think they make these canoes anymore. I'm just wondering if I have to strip the old paint off, or sand it, and what kind of paint to use. Any ideas on a ballpark figure of how much it would cost?

Or we talking a Metal, wood, or glass constructed canoe? Cost would be based on the quality of pain that you use and what your desired out come is

 So Glass it is

Yeah. Definately fibreglass. I was told its like 30 years old. She's a champ. A little heavy. Metal gunnels.

Mann I want a canoe so bad. I want to paddle the bayous of Houston and a conoe seams like the best way to do it. I keep missing good deals on them on craigslist all the time

As for the painging glass canoe I would contact Lincoln and see what type of paint they point you at

or you could go comando on that thing! Clean it up and smothed it down with a sanding paper of about 400 grit, cover it with primer and lightly sand again. use tack cloth to remove any tiny foreign particles and paint. Piece of cake!!!!
