A satellite dish is just a reflecting surface to microwaves. As such, it has to be smooth compared to the wavelength of the microwave wavelength concerned. So any metal, (conducting surface) or even a metalized surface is OK. Otherwise it has to suit the manufacturing processes, and be suitable tor the physical environment in which it is erected. e.g. corrosion resistance, or snow and ice loading.

Why are satellite dishes white and not mirrored?
Well, the satellite dishes in my area are mostly grey, not white - but to the question - why painted and not mirrored?. The wavelengths that need reflecting by the parabolic mirror of the satellite dish are in the microwave range - a millimetre or so. So, the dish need only be smooth compared to that length, and a paint finish meets that standard, though of course, most of the reflection is done by the metal of the dish. The paint need not be radio-conductive or radio-reflective. Were the dish needed to operate in the optical range, then indeed, a mirror finish would be needed.
