I think as long as you don't use a metal based paint you'll be alright. But I could be wrong.

Before you judge someone, you should first walk a mile in their shoes. Because then your a mile away, and you have their shoes.

I think your best bet would be to E-Mail XM and ask them directly.

Usually if you paint an anteanna it results in a 1db loss. atleast for GPS units, should be same for XM

If i were you, i wouldnt worry about it. Without knowing any facts or details or doing any tests, it seems to me that if a signal can come from at least a couple hundred miles away, it should be able to go through a layer of paint.

Bravadas are cool

Many of the new XM antennas from TERK are paintable. You shouldn't have a problem

Do it right the first time
