SSB Installation

I am in the process of installing an ssb radio(Icom 802). I have decided to use the thru hulls as a connection to the water. I will use copper strip from the radio and tuner to the thru hulls. My question is does it matter if the thru hulls are covered with bottom paint, or is it the same as the capacitive connection the copper strips make to the water??
