Painting antenna against corrosion
 

Hello,

Will painting a TV antenna with latex hurt reception at all?
I have a problem with corrosion.

Jan,
It should have no affect on reception. I'm not sure
a latex type paint would be the 'best' for weather proofing
metal, but if it's what you have...

PS - A bright pink would be pretty!

latex has a porus surface water wets and goes through it, corrosion
continues and will discolor,
less so with a gloss. Outside is more of a problem than inside.
You could just use a laquer or epoxy spray paint, most all paints are non
conductive.
