We paint from the chain to anchor 5 feet red and the last 5 feet red. Every 25 feet we paint 2 feet of white. We are in salt water and anchor probably 100 time a year. Paint lasts 2 years in areas that are used. Never had to repaint the last 5 feet of red. Use ACE Hardware enamel oil based paint. First clean chain with fresh water, let dry of water then spay and let dry in open. Once you do it once redoing is quick process every couple of years.
