[QUOTE="cwsat, post: 1148354, member: 417967"] It must be circa 15 years old judging by the motor and LNB on it. The paint has chipped off it around the rim in places and it has not rusted. My old 1m Orbital was only 8 years old when I gave it away and it was starting to rust where the paint had been damaged. This one is also incredibly light too so I think it is Alu. Not sure if [USER=175144]@Channel Hopper[/USER] knows if there is a way of telling if they're steel or alu? I was thinking of just using a primer. It is tucked away so it can't be seen so I am not particularly bothered about it looking good - just want to protect it. When I move house, i'll re-paint it to match the wall or fence colour.
