Yellow is actually a good hi-viz colour to paint a personal submarine (sure beats black), but yup, people just can't leave it alone. A SportSub in Britain was actually deliberately painted yellow because that was the owner's favourite song. Happily, no one sings that song when they see my black sub. Even so, I get too many comments about it being "cute", and that will likely not change when I paint it some other colour (ship side gray, perhaps). Orange is good, but I agree with Scott, it better be really orange.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Contraption?
