Shock bumper, Can you paint it?

I am about to put a blue rear spring and would like to get rid of as much yellow back there as possible.
Can you paint the little yellow shock bumper on the rear shock?
What is it made of?
How easy is it to take off?
I am going to assume everyone knows what I am talking about. I will try to add a pic in a few.

To get it off without cutting it, you have to disassemble the shock.

Yes.
It's not Delrin, it's a hard foam rubber.
Perhaps a Sharpie?
I wouldn't go with at it with any paint, if it falls apart due to chemical attack...you're back in the situation hackers2r described.

Alternatively, see if you can get one in a different color. It's just a bumper.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Racetech carries replacement ones as well, not sure about what colors though.
