I think painting the welting by itself would be a little hard. The other concern is that when installing it (painted), would you crack the paint when it is moved around when it is installed. I tried to call Brent a couple of times, but couldn't get an answer. I am thinking that maybe the better way is to paint the cowl post the trim color and then install the cowl section and gas tank with the cowl post trim color masked off and then paint the main body color on the whole car. I think the masking material could be removed OK after the car is painted.
