have any of you tried painting your transponder?

I have smoky granite mica, and my fastlane sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of my windshield. I'd like to paint it grey/black so that it blends in with the car and the upper window tinting.

Just wondering if it effects the performance.

I'm going to try it very soon, so I will let you know as soon as I do it, just wanted to see if anyone here has tried.

I figured i'll use any type of non-metalic paint.

I just don't mount it on the windshield. I put it in my armrest area and throw it up on the dash when I need to.

yeah, i've been doing that since i got the car, but its so inconvenient. I'd much rather have it up there painted and not have to dig through my ipod and charger cord, cell phone, and whatever else is in the arm rest at the time.

Ah. You could use the velcro supplied to attach it to the carpet to the right of your leg. I see where you are coming from though. I just hate see ANYTHING on my windshield area. A black transponder would bother me as well.

For those of you interested, I painted my Fast Lane transponder this weekend using flat black rustoleum. Still works perfect, and looks 100% better than white. I hardly notice it from the interior, and doesnt stick out at all from the exterior. I highly suggest doing this if you dont like having to take it out of your console every time.

enjoy!

Also recommended for those that like to inhale paint lacquer.
Make sure that painted thing sits outside for a couple of days, so that your car does not smell like an organic chemistry lab.
