    It's ABS plastic, so standard enamels should work fine, maybe a coat or two of clear coat to finish.

    But there could be something better, I will let those with more experience painting boats offer their advice.

        I used Krylon Fusion for Plasctic and it worked very well. I also gave it 2 coats of clear enamel to protect it.
