[MLB-WIRELESS] Transparency?

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

As long as the paint doesn't have metal flakes or some thing like that as
one of it's components I doubt you'd notice any difference.
My MikeN waveguide has had the slots covered over with some sort of
weatherproof tape, and then the entire antenna painted white. So it's
completely water sealed.
