Antennas of the type used on large antenna sites such as building tops and
mountian sites are generally gain arrays, vertically oriented and housed in
a plastic-like radome. They are several feet tall and only a few inches in
diameter. Paint would not be a good idea for obvious reasons on this type
of antenna.

Why would conductive paint hurt it? It shouldn't change the wave length.
Assume nothing shorted with the paint.


If it's a fixed antenna like a J-pole then painting it with something
nonconductive would probably help in the long term.
