Paintinng an Antenna?

None of these replies addressed the issues of metallic substances in the paint per the MSDS sheet. Or fiberglass spreaders on hexbeam.
 
I used samurai black marine epoxy 1 paint on my maximier.. Works great.. It's uv proof and has a 10 year expectancy at harsh seae level conditions.. A friend uses rusto2 winter gray then sprayed a clear uv protection over it.. Dosent effect TX or Rx..
FYI I called samurai and the basic colors even black or gray don't contain any matalic or carbon.. Only their metal flake italic paint does
