65 'cuda lockstrip: chrome vs black

65s, I was wondering if the lockstrip could be painted. I've got a show comming up on Saturday and I'll get the car back from the shop on Wednesday. Not enough time for me to get the lockstrip & put it in. The show is just a small local show & I thought about painting it just for this one show - the lockstrip is so yellow that your eye just goes straight to it. Painted black would be much better than ugly yellow.

Two weeks ago I got a parts car so I practiced changing the lockstrip ( I have one piece that's long enough for the windshield but not the back window). I don't have the right tool but, being a girl, I have a multitude of extra tools in the kitchen. I used the handle end of a dinner fork and a nylon chopstick & it worked!
