Camo corner

[danristheman]

would like to start a new thread called camo corner. I bet you didn't see that one coming. the best way to hide our satellite dish and still make it useful.

Well obviously don't let chapelrun paint the lnb cover red, pink, magenta or whatever color that is in his thread.

Next solid dish I put up is looking like this:



I just need to decide on black or magenta!

Gpflepsen, that should blend right in with its surroundings. Nobody will notice it ...

[FONT=&amp]I would like to paint my GeoSat 90cm and 7.5’ mesh to blend in more with the shrubbery. Will painting the surface of the dish create any performance issues? Would the paint cause the dish to be less reflective? I was under the impression the factory paint was specially formulated for parabolic surfaces.[/FONT]

No, any common paint is fine, and will not affect your performance, just don't want it so glossy that it reflects a lot of light (heat) back to your feed.

Wonder if you could cook a ham with a KTI stainless ?

Dan,

I could be wrong. But I could not find any of your dish's with camo?

I would like to see that myself....where does one look to see Dan's examples?

PSB has some awesome dish painting examples on YouTube and stills on his web site. Pretty talented reflector painter!

Love many of the examples, but not sure if I would want to focus my neighbors attention on my dishes. I am still trying to simply master a spray can application with a single color that is free of runs!

the fake directv logo on my dish is camouflage from a distance looks the same as a slime untill you get close up to see it.

SatAV's dark grey disappears nicely in front of foliage.
My fiberglass (composite) dish was painted army green a few years ago after I was asked several times what that large white thing is in the yard. It is right in front of a row of evergreen trees. Blends in really well winter and summer, and no more comments.
I used to say I use it for tracking Clarke Belt Objects when people would ask...
