There was some discussion on the top-band reflector the other day regarding a station in Europe that put up a Shared Apex Loop Array with a fiberglass mast. He used marine fiberglass paint to protect the fiberglass.

The good thing is that marine paint should be easy to find in FL :) Find a good boat shop and tell them what you're doing. I'm sure you'll get some good advice.

Recall there was some discussion here about painting the fiberglass
spreaders (Florida high  UV area) for UV protection.

What type paint  and color is recommended?

Thanks
