    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.

    No....just the dish itself back and front and screws? should be good to go

    I painted my dish with the same paint I used on the render last time - magnolia :D
    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.
