Can you spry paint a Sky dish?

Would it affect the signal? mines looking battered and rusty after years in the elements...just the mesh metal part, not the mechanisms

Don't paint the unit at the front (LNB) with the wires attached.

I painted my dish with the same paint I used on the render last time - magnolia
No effect on signal and helps disguise the dish a bit.

Avoid using paints that are designed for walls, as it could make the metal rust faster.

Don't use gloss paint either.
