Blue paint.

You can get blue gate valves from a heating supplies specialist.

Obviously someone that you dislike, because gate valves are the work of the devil. They sit there looking decorative for years - fine. Then you actuall want to use the thing for the purpose it was intended. It will then either be seized or the spindle will shear.

If they are to have any real use, use quality ones like Pegler. Not the £1.99 Chinky ones.
