once you put paint on the boom it loses its dielectric rating because most paints conduct electricity, I only ask because in one shot there looks to be a bit of primer on the lower insulated section without any masking.
The truck does look much better though.

Automotive paints sold in the USA are required to contain NO metals. They are all safe for painting booms and are the preferred paints for boom repainting.
This is the info I was given by the manufacturer of one of our booms, and a member of an OSHA and ANSI crane committee.

Well I guess my info is a little out of date, but I was thinking about stuff in the paint other than metal.
