You _can_ spray paint polyethylene boats.  Perhaps the spray paint won't
stay on forever.  But it will stick.

I know of one fellow here in NYC Harbor with a sit-on-top boat who did
spray paint with some day glo neon color.  I was out on a trip in the
harbor and I looked up the Hudson about a mile and half and could see
his boat even though it was a hazy day.

The boat looked like s--t but it was certainly visible at incredible
distances.
