Hey, I have a 4-foot GeoSat Pro dish on the roof (Sky Mexico). Pretty big though and a bit of an eyesore even though it's brand new and rust free. And I was thinking of painting a nice image or pattern on the back of it. Any problem with doing this as far as reception?
Pretty dumb question about dish... humor me

Go for it. You can paint the front also. Take a look at Chapelrun's : http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/262542-Beautiful-Dish-Painting!!!
Just use flat (not gloss) paint for the front.
Flat paint might be a wise choice for the back, just for esthetic reasons, too.
Be careful on the color or pattern you choose.
I'd lean toward a dull medium grey. I doubt any shade of blue would be satisfactory.
If you'll llook at the two BUDs in my signature, the solid is bright white, and the perforated is a dull grey - darned thing almost disappears.
We've had several members here who've camouflaged their dishes to make them less conspicuous.
Maybe they'll chime in with pictures.
If you are fixed on Sky-Mexico, and don't need to see other birds, could you move the dish to a location below the roof line?
We had someone else asking about Sky Mexico reception on a 1.2m dish in Texas.
Where are you located (generally) and how good a signal are you getting?
Any fade in bad weather?

Hey! Thanks for remembering - - in fact I just repointed that dish to 125W for C-Band. Still looks good though.
