1.2m Hawaii Dish, Can it be painted?

[TreDEE]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone can chime in here. I have a homeowner requesting that we paint their dish, but it is plastic, and I am unsure if it can be painted or what type of paint would work. It is the 1.2m triple lnb dish (99,101,103) that is used in Hawaii and Alaska. The reflector itself is made of a hardened plastic, white in color. Thanks for any help.

If you can find any, use a matte finish plasticoat paint, it will work fine. I have my International and Slimline painted Matte Black and have no issues.

Wait the dish is made of plastic? I thought a reflector had to be made of metal. If that's the case, I wouldn't think it would matter if it was painted, as long as there's no metal in the paint.
