I did a search on this site and found no reference to your question here, so i should be safe to refer you to a site I frequent that has your answer. The second link shows a pair of finished rods painted with Krylon Fusion and then clear coated with Spar Urethane. They even explain the steps to a good job. Good Luck! Post a picture when you're done.
