do not put PG over duplicolor paint, or any paint for that matter
Try a high quality non-yellowing automotive urethane or Helsmann Spar Urethane.
rattle cans will work. mixed paints sprayed in a booth like a car is better. pigment added to PG is the best as far as durability, although not as dramatic as applied paint.

Just wondering why you say that? The reason I ask is that I painted a blank 3 or 4 years ago and coated with Perma Gloss, and it has held up perfectly.

PG is a one part urethane with hot solvents. PG "gases off" and does not cure like two part epoxies. The reaction takes place with air and is accelerated by humidity. PG dries, it does not cure.
The rxn is exothermic and the chemical composition includes solvents.
Both of which are detrimental to a vast majority of paints.
if you want to PG over the rods, first apply a few coats of high quality urethane and allow to dry. If you apply PG over that, the clear coat will slightly react with the PG, but will cure along with the PG and the paint will not be adversely affected.
But if the rods will not be abused, you could just leave the finish at the clear coat (e.g. Helsmann Spar urethane) and not worry about the PG.
The above is not from personal experience, but rather from copious reading on rod building forums, and some knowledge about solvents and chemical reactions. Opinions regarding PG and paint have been consistent
Well, it sounds like I shouldn't have done that. I guess I just got lucky.
