Want your antenna to more often go unnoticed? Take a hint from some of
the camouflage patterns used on warships. Visually break up the
silhouette of the elements and boom by painting them in 2-3 shades such
as light grey, black, and an intermediate grey in an irregular random
pattern.

I agree, why do you want it shinny? All of the 6061-T6 tubing that I buy
comes with a dull finish and it looks great in the air.

I always thought that a bright supplier would find a "Compass", "Ghost" or
"Gunship" grey paint that didn't mess up the electrical properties, and
offer it. (or better yet, both) Do the boom in one of the darker shades,
and the elements in the lighter. Basically try and make the antenna
disappear against the sky
