Opinions needed on filler cover

I'm replacing the rear carpet in the cargo area of my 66 Barracuda. The chrome filler tube cover is really hazy and starting to get some rust spots. I'm thinking about painting it black to make it sort of disappear with the carpet or should I just leave it be? Re-choming is not an option as the cost just doesn't seem worth it.IMG_20200609_182440367.jpg
