I'm interested in painting my dish to match the surroundings. Is there a specific kind of paint I should use or stay away from...or does it matter?

For the most part it really doesn't matter. Just make sure it's a non-metallic paint and try to stay away from anything glossy to avoid extra heat being focused on the LNB.

The Dish Network FAQ states the following:

We do not recommend painting your dish as it may cause signal loss and void your warranty.

If you do decide to paint your dish, you can use any color of paint that you choose. Do not get paint on the front cover of the LNBF (the white plastic cap that faces the dish), and avoid metallic paints. We also recommend that you use as few coats as possible as more paint will increase signal loss.
