If you painted the V1 lower black plastic piece with metallic paint , you will block some rf signal , if you did and don't notice a drop in signal strength then you probably have a very good signal to begin with, but... you may see the signal degradation when in fringe areas where a little loss of signal may matter a whole lot when it counts .
