[TowerTalk] Hex Beam Fiberglass Spreader Paint?

[Gary K9GS]

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.
