Both my antenna are under the cowl. There is no doubt conductive stuff will degrade the signal reception. Any pireps on metallic paint over your GPS antenna ?
Bill,This is relevant to my interests. My antennas are mostly concealed under the roof of the 10.
I was in love with Mazda "soul red" 46V until I found out its beautiful depth comes from aluminum base coat with translucent red color coat. I will have to scrap that idea. Wonder if there's an easy way to see which pearly automobile colors are metal flake and which are mica... ?
Since Silicon Carbide isn't conductive and Graphite is, I tossed a small thread of one into a microwave oven and turned it on and off quickly. Then I did the same with the other piece. The graphite sparked and the Silicon Carbide didn't.
