Paint might work, or perhaps better make the helix out of copper or brass and solder it to the connector. I have made helices out of either thick copper wire or even 141 semirigid. You can bend copper wire around the N type connector centre pin and make a solid solder joint.

There is no influence seeing on 10 GHz when I transmit on 2,4 GHz but my test only with the 500mW from BU-500 at the moment. My Andrew PA is under constuction.

Thanks Heiner! I have a similar lens from another LNB but that one consists of two parts, sliding in each other. I think this is called a 'Luneberg lens'. Is this the case with your lens too?
Edit: no it's not a Luneberg lens (just googled on it ; -)
