Hi Jamey, I just finished my first kayak so I'm not an expert by any means, but I didn't like the results of any paper, so I used transparancy film for overhead projectors. It comes in printable sheets and is crystal clear from the get-go.
I trimmed it close and aplied it under the glass. If anything it came out clearer than the rest of the boat. I'm not sure what the epoxy and plastic are going to do in the future, but so far so good. I kept the logo kind of small so I didn't have to worry about it delaminating a big area, (just in case)I have pics at webshots.com under member name "ccfish4". album name is "collins kayak".
