Bryan,
 
My fiberglass ES has several internal antennas.  I selected paints with mica, not metallic to make sure they didn't block the antenna reception.  I even went to the trouble of painting a test panel and holding it over my GPS antenna to make sure it still worked okay.  The paint store can show you the formulas to confirm there are no metallic components.
