I've got several airtool sockets that I want to paint different colors. I've tried acrylic paint with several coats of sealer, but the paint wears off quite quickly as the sockets are handled.
Does anyone know of a durable coating (maybe teflon based) that would come in different colors and stand up to frequent handling ?
Thanks - Jeff
 
Are the sockets coated with chromium? That could affect the adhesion of other coatings and would be useful to know before recommending one.
 
A couple of the sockets have a chrome finish but most have an industrial finish.
