Ashely
Take a look in your local craft / toy shop that sells those plastic model kits like "airfix". They usually have a range of small tins of paints that cost about £1.00 You want something like an enamel white, either gloss or matt, whichever finish you prefer.

White nail varnish?
I think it was cooky who once told me about a neat little idea. Wrap your tip section in PTF thread tape used in plumbing. This will stay on for a year or so and easily peels off should you wish to revert the rod back to normal. |

I have used car spray paint in the past masking tape up the rings and spray lightly works well.

I use Plasti-kote fast dry enamel in flat white. Comes in a small spray can. As the brand name suggests, it seems to be somewhat flexible and to date I have
had no flaking or peeling of the coating. I think I got mine some time ago from Wilkinsons but I'm not sure if they still do it. Should be able to get it
elsewhere.
