Aaron, mine is the factory stainless antenna.

And yes, plasti-dip would work fine IMO.

Cool, might give it a try tomorrow.

Lee, It finally fixed itself let me finally reset the password and everything is good to go

Thanks for you help again.

Thanks for this! I was just thinking the other day about painting mine with plasti dip when i do my wheels but now I want to hack it off a little too

^ It is quite simple to do, Drew. Just use a piece of tape on the bead/ball and claw hammer when you pull it off. Or, at least have someone watch for it when it flies off...lol.

^^ No problem Aaron, glad you got it working.

Mine didn't fly, just use slow even pressure, mines painted and reinstalled

Mine flew because I had to clamp the antenna (part I cut off) in a bench vise and use both hands on the hammer because it didn't want to come off...without persuasion.

i did the same thing, vise, claw hammer slow even pressure so it didnt fly, sharpened spot to get ball back on, used super glue and tapped it hard on the ball and let dy and painted it....

Wrap the ball with tape first so when it flies you can find it.

Yes Jeremy, you told me that...but I'm hard-headed and didn't...actually remember saying to myself "self, you don't need no stinkin' tape!". You were right, it went flying but I still found it.
