The mast was painted. They suggested sticking thin strips of black paper around the mast for the reinforcing bands. I know that would have given a thickness to the band but I decided to go for painted bands. Masking and touching up took a while. The black tended to seep under the tape along the wood grain - not much but enough to be annoying!
