@ geometry. I have a dish that I want to paint. Most online suggestions say that , the paint must be a flat/ matte paint. However, I have been through most paint shops. However, they don't understand the meaning of flat/ Matt . nothing of that sort is also written on their containers. The only one I saw was an emulsion paint with the Matt written on it.
Any help? Counting on u to select a paint.

@IRON, use gloss paint, ''grey/arsh'' is acceptable because of its property as regards radiation reflection, protecting your LNBF from being heated

geometry:


put a tape to the edge of your dish with the face up, (reflective surface).. you might need the assistance of a second person though, to hold the tape to the edge and you pull out the reel to take measurement at the opposite end.
Now, you need to move your hand that holds the tape to the dish edge left and right while the other guy remains stationary., during your movement you pick the highest value recorded as your dish size,

Comparing this value with the circumference of the paraboloid;
2[PIE]r
= 2*[PIE]*125,
= 250*[PIE],
= 785.7142,
= 785.71cm. QED.
