[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1057226, member: 178786"] As long as you do not use paint with a metallic content you should be OK. Car paint is a type that has been used by some members. Personally, I would use either a matt finish or a satin finish. For a 1.2m channel master dish a few spray cans should be enough to do the job. Going back to your motor question that I part answered above in post 18. For now I would setup the dish for simple East/West rotation on Ku band with your Inverto black ultra LNB. The East/West rotation can be achieved with either an H-H motor or a linear actuator in conjunction with a polar mount. After you have got comfortable with a motorised Ku band system you could consider adding "multi band" capability using something like a "Trust LNB Changer" which replaces your existing LNB setup with a rotational LNB setup at the dish focal point. With a multi LNB rotational setup you can use additional LNB's that cover C band and Ka band. For C band there is not a great deal available to a 1.2m dish, however, there are some satellites where you will get signals. [/QUOTE]
