Good idea.......... particularly if ya spray bomb them in a neon yellow colour first.

Yep. It's kinda hard to see a clear marking buoy.

White, Neon Yellow or Neon Orange are all good colours.

Instead of spraying it, consider putting the paint inside the bottle, shake it up and let the paint coats the inside of the bottle. You will get much better durability since the paint is protected by the plastic. If you paint them outside, the paint could peel easier. If you really want the paint to stick on the outside, sand paper it first, then prime, then paint...just like anything else.

I wouldn't suggest placing these marker buoy if you are not fishing close to one. They are much smaller than commercial marker buoy and sit lower in the water. You don't want a boat to run one over it and have the dacron tangle someone's prop. Use it only when it is in clear sight to you, so you can inform boaters should the boaters run too close to the buoy.
