You'd probably need a special paint that will stick to the battery but I'd say t hat its workable. I'm not sure if it would make things easier but did you see this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OPTIMA-BATTERY-COVER-PAINTABLE-RED-BLUE-OR-YELLOW_W0QQitemZ190081506668QQihZ009QQcategoryZ33574QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I am using a four year old Optima Red Top in my '71. I like it because it holds up well when the car is not started for several weeks (or more) at a time. It is also a little lighter than a regular battery. My problem is I think the red top really looks out of place when showing the car. Might paint it black, but wanted to see if there were any comments or gotcha's before I get serious about it. Of course it will still have the six pack look, but the shiny red top (which to me stands out like a sore thumb) will be gone.
