I'm no expert, but I suspect boat paint would be a reasonable choice.
Probably depends upon what kind of fiberglass (epoxy or polyester) was
used for the antenna.
Not sure about northern Illinois, but here in southern Arizona at
5,000 feet elevation UV eats unprotected fiberglass like it was
breakfast. I have various paint roller poles, surplus mast tubes, and
shovel handles to prove it.

I have a Diamond X50NA (2m/70cm) that I hope to put up before the
snow flies here in N. Illinois. Just wondering if it is recommended
to paint fiberglass antennas to protect from UV/Sun damage?
If so what kind of paint is recommended?
