Dish Paint

[davboy]

I seem to remember probably back in the satpimps days a thread about painting a dish .Can anyone remember if you can paint a fibreglass dish (mine is going dull :D )and if you can what paint do you use without losing signal strength?

Thanks M8s,
so any colour as long as its not got a metallic or glossy finish,any need for a primer or number of coats make any difference? will it adhere ok or do I need to break/sand the surface?

anymore info?

got a zone 2 dish to go on my dads listed cottage, so need to make it a bit hidden best bets a creamy colour, to match the wall and mount it low down, or in a bush so greenish

Is it best to lightly scotch the dish and spray it with a matt can from say halfords, without lead?

Hi

Why not let it be done in a garage, they will use a primer and the paint will not peel.

I had a table done for years and the result was splendid.

Cheers :)
