Is it a good idea to UV protect the center fibreglass insulator with black
paint?
What does the manufacturer say about painting it? Painting it would be a
violation of the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what the manufacturer says"
corollary which says "DON'T DO what they don't tell you". In any case I've
never seen one fail so I wouldn't worry about it.

Well, I won't raise a big fuss if you tape that insulator piece but you
don't really need to do anything.
