I have absolutely no idea. I can tell you how to run a test on it if you

Had a customer paint his pager case with metalflake paint - didn't
work worth squat when he was done. I suspect the effect would be the
same on any radome (since that's what a pager case is).

What about metal flake paint?

Metal flake paint has considerably more metal, and bigger pieces of
it. Wouldn't that block the signal to and from an embedded antenna?
