I have a Diamond X-50 2M/70 cm base antenna that I needed to hide against
the back pine trees. I used Rustoleum Charcoal Grill spray paint. It puts
a flat-black finish on the antenna and all mounting hardware that makes it
look absolutely great.
The Rustoleum paint completely dries in just about a minute in warm weather.
I painted mine with two coats and had it back up in less than ten minutes.
It worked so well, that I did the same to my Force12 Sigma 40 in the back
yard two years ago and I haven't had to touch-up either antenna. If you're
OK with a black antenna, I highly recommend this paint.
