This is what we use, and have used for years. Of course we buy it by the gallon can. Dip in the rod or strut let it sit for a bit and have at it. We use red but it is available in different colors.
Of course we are in a manufacturing environment so we have time for this.
You can paint this on as well but we dip it because we like stuff to look like we meant to do it like that!

The company that builds our communication buildings dips the ends of strut in " plastic dip " it makes for a nice clean end and helps protect some one from snagging their arm on a sharp corner.

B Line makes vinyl caps for the same purpose.
