: I am in the process of putting layers of marine spar ureathane varnish on my
: nylon covered kayak. The skin has become transparent and I am would like
: to put a layer of ureathane paint on the kayak before I put on the keel,
: wear strips on the gunnel, and wood around the cockpit. I would then like
: to put clear spar varnish over the paint, Can I do this? All the coatings
: would be oil based ureathane.

I found a solution. I went to the paint store and bought some coloring pigment in a tube. Added it to some of the spar varnish and put a coat on the kayak. It looks good. Now I will add trim and put clear over the entire kayak.
