I think one must avoid that plastic that seems to have almost a rubbery feel
to the surface. That is going to eventually shed and the paint with it. I
tried it once on a plastic pole which had that kind of grip finish, and it
lasted 1 year.
Incidentally, many of those ram sticks you buy with the swing arm cover
seem to be going sticky as the surface leaches away with time.

RJH expressed precisely :
I did this - I think on advice from this NG - last year. Only been on a
year
but no apparent problems, and looks a lot better. Did take a long time to
dry
though - couple of days in quite cool conditions (10C IIRC).


My 40 year old black pipes, had faded quite a bit, so the paint refreshed
the colour.
