I've had the same center insulator on my A3s since 1988. Don't see any need
to protect it. Some paints are conductive or partially so I'd avoid paint. I
suppose a good coat of a better brand of electrical tape would work but
reference 1st sentence.
I treated my center piece of my A-3 the same way I treated the fiberglass in
my KLM antennas. I either wrapped electrical tape or used liquid tape to
protect it from the Florida sun. It does tend to get rather frayed down here
without some protection.
