Default Painting VHF/UHF base vertical?

Preparing to install a Diamond VHF/UHF base vertical X6000A, and
planning to paint it beforehand to a less visible color (here, dark
green will be better than white).

Is there any issue with this (affecting RF performance)? Does the outer
(fiberglass? plastic?) white jacket have any dielectric characteristic
necessary for antenna operation that would be affected by paint? Any
type of paint to avoid (I was planning Rust-Oleum textured dark green.)
Tks,
