What I would really like to see are gel coat colors with a reflective 
component mixed in as part of the coat itself.  Is there anything 
like this?  If it's possible, can it be done even with the more 
subtle colors as well?  I'm thinking of this mainly for night 
paddling, so that when any light is brought upon the kayak, the 
entire boat will light up - yet in sunlight, look pretty normal. 

Just wondering.
