I use the dip in stuff. It comes in a paint tin and you just dunk the handle in and it comes out coated. It can be had in several colours but my last tin was red. Sometimes you need to give it a couple of coats to get the right feel.
It’s been a while since I bought any so I can’t recall where I bought mine from. I’m thinking the engineering supplier but it could just as easily have been a hardware shop.
I just had a look and it appears one source is auto parts stores: Supercheap and Autobarn both list one brand of it. That’s not the one I use but at least it’s still available from there.
