[Paddlewise] Visibility In A Can...A Brilliant Idea

Fluorescent orange, fluorescent yellow, or my favorite, fluorescent green.
Bright yellow-green, the color found on those new highway pedestrian signs,
the electric color of some cycling jackets, and the glowing colors that one
can get in spray paint.  That gleam gets your attention.

Then there's the not so noticeable paint scheme on my composite kayak.  What
if I prep the surface and give the whole exterior a good spray?  So what if
it last but a season--prep and paint the next.  Wondering if it will
adversely affect boat performance, if it will weaken the gel coat, or cause
other glaring problems.
