I'd use something paler. Not Black. In sunny weather the dish will warm up too much and the heat could be focused on LNB.

eggshell finish, Satin maybe if you use a fine sandpaper on it to take any gloss off. Professional dishes use a dull mid grey, but any sade not bright & shiny or Not dark is OK

It's great paint for chrome or shiny aerials. (I've used it for that). Ordinary black paint flakes off chrome-work or aerials easily. That actual paint great also on Shiny Stainless whip aerial to make it black too.
