Hey Charlie,
I use Klass Kote paint on all my blades. Its like to old school K&B epoxy paint. I have 4 sets of Sharkskin blades all done in Klass Kote. I have used it on several sets of metal blades. I personally like the stuff but there are a ton of options out there.

Thanks Butch !
@Charlie - Not sure which heli you got but note that 2K paint (or epoxy) is best for gas/kero operated aircraft and also nicely resistant to scratch. Make sure to fine sand prior application (1000) and verify that blades are still balanced along the process.
You might want also consider the look in flight, not just the tips but several stripes can be awesome looking. See here:
