I don't know about the antenna effectiveness, but I would be
concerned about the skin temperature reaching the transition temperature
while the plane is sitting in the summer sun on the
tarmac. Structural failure would be my concern.
In a test, the factory measured their red (non-Metallic) 320 skin
temperature at 140 degrees.

If one was to paint a Lancair silver metallic paint would that
affect the internal comm antennas or any of the effectiveness of the antennas
in the aircraft?
