    Question With what type of exterior paint can I paint an antenna

    I need to paint an antenna because I'm going to install it on a facade and I have to paint it the color of it. Is there any special exterior paint I can use?

    try a Google search for: paint for antenna radome

    Key info from the RFS link below is:

    1. The first one is adhesion. A variety of radome materials are used for antenna construction so the surface texture will vary. Some paints having the best durability here may be dangerous to work with and require an EPA qualified application facility. Preparation is important. All surface contamination must be removed.

    2. The second one is the choice of pigment. RF transparency is crucial, so conductive coloring materials such as carbonblack, lead, and metallic powders cannot be used. Lighter colors are preferred where practicable to reduce internal temperature extremes which could occur on hot, sunny days.

    from Google you'll find some good information, like:-
