Satellite Dishes are Gray Because…
They are primed for painting. That’s right, it’s not just any gray: it’s primer gray. That means your dish can blend in or compliment your house if you paint it.
As for the type of paint, many people report good results with rust-oleum and Krylon Fusion (or similar).
If your dish is not gray then you may want to prime it first.
Tips:
- do not paint over the LNB (plastic cap at the focal point of the dish – see picture)
- only use satin/flat paint (not glossy or metallic)
- do not move the dish while painting it (unless you plan to re-aim it)
- do not hurt yourself
