I think you would be the first with a painted deck Cirrus. Go for it! I bet Jim could offer some hints on the painting or color choices. I made some little mistakes on my deck. I can see the uneven scarf joints but I just keep paddling and hope to do better on the next one!

If you paint it you would want to fill in those bad places with micro ballons and sand fair before painting.
