I'm no expert, but I suspect boat paint would be a reasonable choice.
Probably depends upon what kind of fiberglass (epoxy or polyester) was
used for the antenna.
Not sure about northern Illinois, but here in southern Arizona at 5,000
feet elevation UV eats unprotected fiberglass like it was breakfast. I
have various paint roller poles, surplus mast tubes, and shovel handles
to prove it.

I have a Diamond X50NA (2m/70cm) that I hope to put up before the snow
flies here in N. Illinois. Just wondering if it is recommended to
paint fiberglass antennas to protect from UV/Sun damage?
If so what kind of paint is recommended?
