Default Antenna "chalking" ?

Hi, i have a 2/70 verticle that is "chalking" on the outside of the white
section. I think this is the right term for it. If you grab it white
powdery remnants stay on your hands or clothes. How do you go about fixing
this? Wash with soap and water then spray enamel on it maybe?

Thanks for any input...

Find a paint with a good UV blocker. It sounds like the sunlight is
adversely affecting the binder in the fiberglass.
