I´m going to paint one of my dishes in brown - to make it less outstanding from the brown background. Does a thicker layer of paint (painted twice) diminish the signal to my box?

Found this on the net
There are a couple of things to remember when choosing your paint. Firstly, don't use a metallic paint or high gloss - these would reflect too much sunlight up onto the lnb, and could cook it. For the same reason, the paint you use must be matt, not glossy. Also, you need to use paint suitable for outside use, Something like matt car paint should work fine. Make sure you use lead free paint for your own safety.
