Default Metallic paint
If you look at my avatar, that green paint is PPG Deltron Fender Guitar Co. Eric Clapton Metallic Green Automotive paint.

Their is an awful lot of metallic flake in that paint, and I have the antenna running all the way through the inside of the fiberglass fuze (right besides Carbon Fiber Pushrods also). Only about 3" of antenna exit near the tail, which I have taped flat against the side of the plane (against the metal flake paint).

I have never had an issue with interfenance with this plane, In fact most of my planes are painted with Metallic flake paints without a problem.

I'm not gauranteeing that it will not cause a problem, I just know that it has never been a problem for me, with over 10 planes set up similar to my avatar.
