This may be relevant -- Wal-Mart and K-Mart sell a Krylon product called
Fusion that is touted as adhering to ANYTHING -- including glass, PVC,
etc. Other makers are also selling plastic-adherent paints now, so this
may be an option, though I'd be a little skeptical about the chemical
compatibility with whatever coating the SteppIR elements already have on them.
In my case, I just want to protect some cheap Rubbermaid Rough Totes that
contain my shunt feed and antenna switching boxes, and I think one of these
spray products will do fine for that. As I understand it, the important
thing is simply to hold some opaque pigment between the plastic and the UV.
