Yep, you are right about the light weight part. : )
Powder coating is an option. I have a powder coater, but it would be a bit
expensive to do for just a couple of welded rings. If someone sends me a
dozen rings I will do it for them in exchange for keeping 6 of them.
I have some bright red that would look nice. I've used nail polish with
success and it's cheap.

Annodized steel rings are great! Extremely light too.
In the annodizing process the steel is melted away by the acids leaving only
the color. Really stands out in the sun, your pilots won't have any trouble
picking up the wrong lines.
Or you could use a short colored piece of leader line to the rings, Mason
line can be found in florescent pink, yellow, orange and green at contractor
supply houses that sell to the masonary crowd. You'll have to check on the
line strength to get a piece strong enough, but its out there. I had been
using it for years on my winch and bungees. Since its a short piece you
don't have to have that strong of a piece, and of course you can double it
up.
