If you decide to paint it, Rustolium makes a spray can paint specifically for use on plastic (says so on the front of the can) that really works well. It comes in lots of colors. Several years ago, I used some to hide some new fiber glass antennas----the paint is still on---no white showing yet. I tested the paint for RF loss by spraying some on a plastic bag which I put into a microwave oven----absolutely no heating.

It has a minor case of the fiberglass fuzzies and most of the blue paint is gone as it has been in the elements for 15 years. Should I paint it, apply a cote of resin, or just leave it alone? -- Tim, WD6AWP
