Jed, you want to paint the frame or the bladderless toons?
advice on repainting my cataraft
i have a 13' scadden bladderless mckenzie drifter that is fire engine red. i would like to repaint it, but i am not sure what paint to use. the toons will be lightly folded when not in use so i want a paint that will stick and not chip or peel away. also i am not sure about the toon material, i dont want to put a paint on that will eat or degrade the material. any ideas on types of paint or ways (i.e. airbrush) etc. would be very appreciated

sound like he wants to paint the toons. I would think the only thing you could do is stain them a darker color. Even plastic paints will crack just from inflation/deflation.the toons will be lightly folded when not in use so i want a paint that will stick and not chip or peel away. also i am not sure about the toon material, i don't want to put a paint on that will eat or degrade the material.
Try contacting the manufacturer and see what they recommend.
Contact Maravia and ask them what to use. There is a paint to use on them. I'm not 100% sure what it's called. But they do have a urethane type paint designed to paint pontoons. BUT, you literally won't be painting them, you'll be coating them. Maravia does some awesome stuff with paint schemes (flames and such). They use an overcoat to do the second color.
River connection / the raft doctor in portland sells paint for inflateables http://www.riverconnection.com/inflatable-raft-boat-paint-p-495.html. I would call rick or judy and ask what they would reccomend
try SEM Products Classic Coat at www.semproducts.com
Key to adhesion is clean clean clean.
Clean it with Alcohol sereral times, wear latex gloves to not get oil from you hands on toons
