I'm going to be painting something on the SS (you'll have to wait and see :biggrin2 and I'm going to have quite a bit of silverstone metallic paint (and all of the necessary items to paint plastic) left over and I was thinking about painting the XM/OnStar antenna to match. First off, what do you guys think? Second, do you think this would severely reduce the signal strength?

Not sure if it would stick that good or not. It might. I would not think it would reduce the signal strength, but its paint and you never know. I would just leave it black....but that is me.

I'm kind of on the fence about it. If I do it though, I'm going to sand it smooth, lay down some plastic adhesion promotor, plastic primer, 2-3 coats of paint and some clear.

Don't know? try and let us know. I wouldn't think it would hurt reception too bad:dunno:

How much is a new antenna; just in case you need a backup?

i would leave it black.... what are you painting? if your painting the black on the mirrors or someother black trim then you might want to paint it just to blend it in.

I'm painting the inset bowtie on the molded hitch cover the same color as the car.

Paint it up! Let us know! I bet if you take your time it will turn out nice! I would use a shit load of clear on top!

I'd like to get a backup just in case it looks like shit. Does anyone have a part #?
