I too recently up sized from a Rocna 33kg to the 55. Love it! But years ago I gave up on painted chain marking. Instead, I use long color coded zip ties and replace as needed. The long tails are easy to see from the deck or pilothouse. Kinda funky but they work great!

Glad to see your anchor working . Just a thought instead of paint if you measure time on distance (1 second per foot of chain ) 80 ft * scope of 5 = 400 sec div by 60 = 6.6 min. Always worked for me.
@gbsailing9436

Yep you could easily print up a chart for various depths with scope, lengths and times for Elizabeth to read off if she is in the cabin. A smaller version with just depths and times could be laminated for use when going forward to the anchor. Or they could just invest in a chain counter!

That little hole on the head of the Rocna is for a shackle for a trip line on a float. Many anchorages in the NW are marked foul and frequently have lost wire cable from past logging operations on the bottom. A trip line or a diver can be the only way to recover your ground tackle. A spare anchor with rode can be indispensable on long trips heading north.

Have you considered colored heat shrink in lieu of paint on your anchor chain? Or there are also chain markers made by Imtra corp that nestle in between the links that will offer a more permanent solution. Cheers!
