We've been doing the hidden antenna stuff since the '70s. So far as we are
aware, the only problem with metallic paint (including the silver uv dope)
has been with an obscure German paint that messed the antennas up. However,
that was ONE instance from ONE builder with ONE airplane and we never got
the full story, including the paint brand name. Methinks perhaps it was a
loose nut behind the soldering iron that fouled the antennas up.

Maybe a light gray instead of metallic silver as planned, hmm..........

...or a clever paint design that keeps the metallic paint away from the
buried antennas?
