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.
