Maybe if you used lead based paint oke:

I don't think it would.

I would not paint it as urathanes will eat at the plastic the antena is made of

Isn't it made of the same plastic as the flares, bumper covers, mirrors, etc.? Looks the same anyway.

so would you recommend latex based?:rofl:

newer latex aka water based still have solvents but would work with out eating the plastic

Not really those are made of like 90 perecnt urathane and other materials. light them on fire the relase isosynate gas aka syanide the antenas are made of a more rigid plastic wich could crack if painted or get eaten by the wrong type of coating. it also depends on the antena gxm30 is clear plastic and should never be painted and the other xm ones are black and are alittle more reseliant
