- YC_1NomadMicrowave communication dishes are painted routinely. Not metallic paint of course. To prove it to yourself do a before and after signal strength test. Find your weakest signal and compare it. As a telecommunication tech with 40 yrs in the field I would not hesitate to paint mine.
- cooper841ExplorerThanks just wasn't sure what would happen.
- DSDP_DonExplorerMine was a KVH and I painted it with non-metallic paint and it worked the same, now going on 9 years. Winegard may be different.
- JEBarExplorerI agree that painting the dome would degrade the strength of the signal getting through .... we wash ours and wipe it down with 303 or Protect All
Jim - You should not paint the dome. Wash and wax.
