Auxiliary Rudder Paint

I have a Hydrovane and have plans to paint the rudder. Any recommendations on paint? The rudder is cast nylon and Hydrovane suggests a hard paint. I want something simple so I was considering Interlux Trilux 33 spray (link below). The reviews seemed mixed but wanted check in with folks here first.

Thanks.

Trilux is marginal, use something like Petit Trinidad hard paint. Remove the rudder when not doing passages.

Yeah, I think I'll just be more active in removing it when not in use and check out your suggestions. Thanks for the info about trilux being marginal.
