Material: peeling paint

I finished a new cedar greenland paddle a few weeks ago and painted it with flourescent spraypaint. After using it twice the paint started peeling off the whole thing. I talked to someone who used to work with flourescents paints and he said that you need to use a primer for them to stick and recommended clear primer. The only problem is I've never heard of clear primer and can't find any. Has anyone heard of it or used it? Also any ideas where I can find some. I could use white primer but a real thin layer of paint lets the wood grain show through and I like the way it looks.

Thanks,
Marie
