Hi folks. I'm new to the forum and have what may be a dumb question. I thought it would be better to ask before I did something I regreated.
I am removing a Dish 300 and Dish 500 from our old home to use on a tripod with our motorhome which we will be fulltiming in in about 6 mos. The 300 has been installed since December 1998 and the 500 about a year or so less. The finish on both is faded. I am considering painting them a flat black. This is to improve their looks and also to help with snow melt in the winter. Will painting the dishes reduce signal strength or cause any other problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
