Painting cable

Most probably a stupid question but what the hell. I'm planning to paint my house shortly and was just wondering if it's ok to paint the sat cable aswell? Thanks

Keeps the water out. As long as the paint solvent is NOT melting the plastic before it dries it it fine.

Painting the dish reduces its tendency to rust. Metallic paints are alleged to have odd effects. Ordinary paint is fine. If quality and Level are the same on signal test then no problem.
