I'm thinking of mounting my XM Commander antenna in about the same place as where the XM antenna on the TL is. I think it would look much better if the antenna matched the car.

Would it be possible to get the same reception if I painted the antenna? Also, I have a touch-up pen...would that work?

Thanks in advance!

 

I guess I should re-word my question now.

I went onto XMFan.com and they said that it can be done, but it has to be non-metallic paint.

So the queston is...Do Acura touch-up paint pens use metallic paint and are they the right thing to be using to do this job?

Thanks again...

 

I guess it depends on if the paint on your car is metallic or not... the touch-up pen will be metallic if the paint it's matching is metallic...

Since your sig says Black, I'd say you're OK. If you were Carbon or Silver I'd say no.

 

Hmmmmm....thanks...I'll have to do some more research then
