[QUOTE="Squatting Dog, post: 167785, member: 1688"] The last couple of days I have been experimenting with my Elite 5M baja external antenna.. Since I didn't want a white booger on my all black truck. ***disclaimer*** I am still testing this mod out and do not take any responsibility if you ruin your external antenna. The first thing I did is research about painting gps antennas on the internet. Since there is not a lot of information on painting external gps antennas. I decided to side on the side of caution first.. I hooked up the gps unit and external antenna and got a baseline signal strength and satellites. Knowing this would this would vary too much. I said screw it and covered the white booger with blue painters tape and began painting. I used krylon fusion flat black paint, very light coats. Once dried I hooked up everything again, and there was a little delay acquiring satellites.. I started to worry that I would be stuck with a white booger on my black truck. I turned the unit off and tried a warm start. Surprise almost instantly locked on... Hot damn! So, I have thrown caution in the wind and ripped off the tape. And painted the white booger with a very light coat.. Waiting about half hour or so before applying another light coat... I am going to let it dry over night before testing it out. Hopefully, I just didn't ruin the external antenna and throw 80 bucks out the window... I will test it out and post pictures when I am done... -Greg [/QUOTE]
