Awesome results !!<br /><br />I came to the same conclusion and used a good auto-primer and a glowing white top-coat called something like "Van and truck white enamel." Spray-cans from the local Canadian-Tire Shop. <br /><br />THAT part worked out great, but the clear-coat I used on it went sideways, and after a year, it had all turned yellow and most had flaked off, the rest with a bit of gentle help from a plastic edge scraper. The white is like steel, hard, not a mark. <br /><br />If I do it again, I think I will make a deal with the owner of the local Collision Repair. Best that it not be a paint that needs to go into the dryers, though, as many Carbon Oars are assembled with a high temperature Hot-Glue, don't want to mess with that.
