My couplings are painted. The last time I removed the couplings from the shafts I beadblasted them, then primed and painted with plain old Rustoleum Red Metal primer and White top coat.

I think an application of Max Wax after assembly would help stop rust on the propeller shaft bore and the unpainted faces between the gear coupling half and shaft coupling half.

I did this over a year ago and they still look pretty good.
