[SixClub] Any problem covering copper antenna with pvc?

[kd4e]

Was just looking at this 6m antenna design:

Any performance problem covering a copper antenna
with pvc?

Given the propensity of people to steal copper
these days ...

Or maybe I could just paint it with a non-metallic
silver paint to look like aluminum?
