    Do not paint your dish, but spray it,
    The paint brush marks can cause problems when it rains, as it will change the contour of the antenna.:)

    Any spray that's designed to protect metal, but with a matt finish for the reflector.

    The rest of the dish could be painted with Hammerite.

    Isn't there something about not using lead based paint, because it won't reflect ?

    Or because it is banned & poisenous?

    You only want the dish to reflect, so NON-Metallic paint.
