Since the mast is made of fiberglass, my suggestion would be to use fiberglass
marine paint. That’s. what has been used by a lot of early SteppIR owners,
apparently with great results. The pain is designed for fiberglass and the
harsh UV conditions on open water. When my SteppIR needs a paint job, that’s
what I plan to use.
