I know this isn't the kind of thing we usually discuss around these parts, but here it goes anyway...
I have a lot of unfinished fiberglass tree tubes. These are not the kind you buy. They are bare glass tubes that I am using as tree tubes. Anyway, I want to keep the glass from blooming and getting all fuzzy. They are already on trees scattered around acres. I am planning to use an airless house paint sprayer and a generator to move around the farm and paint the tubes.
The question is, what kind of paint should I use? White epoxy is one thought. I have no idea how it would go through a house paint sprayer or if I would be able to clean it out of the sprayer when I finish. Epoxy could also get to be a bit expensive, because I have a lot of these to do. Does anyone know of any house-type paint that would work on fiberglass? I was also considering some white alcyd enamel (tractor paint). Suggestions are welcome.
