I have a small, two person inflatable Plastimo boat. I would like to paint in as it is currently WHITE. Can the forum recommend a method and type of paint in order that I will no longer be visible from space every time I take to the water in my little boat.

Of course you are right, and thank you, but any recommendations for less than £112/litre?

Have a look here https://www.plastidip.co.uk, they say you can use it on boats.

Update.
I went for the camo olive (one of three colours to make up a dpm) 400ml spray can. It cost around £20 with the postage.
1) The contents of the entire can would not have been sufficient to cover half of the bow. It would have taken four cans to cover the boat.
2) It just rubs off and is entirely useless.
Its stopping white.

Beware.
Do not be mislead and end up being wrongly advised by members of this forum.
The Plastidip product is inappropriate for spraying on boats.
End.

Errr their website states that you can paint it on boats.
The member was trying to help, I don't think he misled you, or gave you wrong information.

What prep did you do or did you paint it straight on without a primer?
Their website says this "NOTE: Surfaces that are non-absorbent such as metals should be primed using our recommended Primers, which are available in Clear and Grey.
However, if you wish to remove the coating later do NOT use a primer (such as on a vehicle)." I would think your boat would need primer on it.

Sorry it did not work, but the web site does say it covers boats. As said it would need to be prime it first.

Melodramatic I suppose. White boats are far more common than green ones and can be obtained at a far more reasonable price. Having the option to colour the thing can really pay in the long run, but I'm not convinced that there is a cost effective option that works.
