Bill,
For what it is worth, I have a GEM quad with fibreglass spreaders. I
asked the manufacturer this same question. His response:
Don't.
He pointed out that some paints are mildly conductive and might screw
up the electrical characteristics. I don't know.
Anyhow, I didn't. Seven years and counting.
The fact that the manufacturer is in VE4 and has considerably less UV
exposure than here did enter my mind.
