I had an old blue Malibu Pro Explorer that I rattled-canned with Krylon Fusion that held up much better than I expected.  If visibility is a concern then keeping it yellow would be a good idea.
That looks killer man!

They make a removable skin spray "paint", can't remember the brand but O'Reillys sells it in many different colors.  Used it on the fenders of a quad I have.  Pretty cool.  If you like don't like it it peels off in sheets pretty easily.  However, they say to change it out around six months or so or removal may be more difficult.

It is pretty resistant to dings so far, but a yak dragged across rocks it will scrape it up.  Removed some from the quad fender to test removal and it had no effect (discoloration, etc) on the fender plastic at all

BTW I have both a yellow yak and a grey camo yak.  My go to is the yellow yak.  I'd much rather been seen in case of emergency.  IMO.

 
Thanks for the solid info Pau Hana, I'll have to check that out

I spray painted my old scrambler for duck hunting, the paint startes to fade and wear off after about 6 months,  i didnt like it so i took a pressere washer to it and it took every bit of paint off in a few minutes. 
I hate yellow kayaks, they work for fishing but i like to dive mostly with my kayak and id rather not be seen in one of my good spots. I dont go around anywhere filled with boats either so i dont worry about being hit.
Yea I agree with you, I'm not really In a area with a ton of traffic

Is it tired looking or just the yellow that's eat at you
If it's faded there's a nice little mixture you can make and have it shining like new
Done it to a few quads
