Default Protection of 23cm / 13cm antennas - what paint or coating?

I have home made antennas for 23cm and 13cm ATV. These are made mainly of
copper, Copper clad fibreglas PCB material and 3mm diameter silver plated
wire with silver plated N-Type connectors an solid copper coax. I want to
protect them from corrosion etc. Is there a paint, varnish, laquer etc.
(ideally an aerosol type) that I can use which will not introduce losses?
If someone can give me guidance as to what base type - for example acrylic -
I should use it would be most helpful. I am always wary of the sprays
supplied for spraying vehicles but these seem to be the most commonly
available.
Thank you
