Skin-on-Frame: Translucent PVC?

I just put a message in at the Greenland forum, but thought I'd ask here as well. I need to order fabric for my kayak, and am looking for something very cheap and durable - PVC fits the bill. How translucent is it though? I love the look of white nylon with the frame showing though. I don't need something that extreme, but being able to see the outline of the skeleton would be cool. If white PVC is somewhat translucent, I'll go with it, if not I'll probably order black.
