Painting a scope?

I bought a Leupold 2x silver from a co-worker for next to nothing (much less than a glock high cap mag). I'm going to mount it on my wood stocked/blue scout rifle.
I could sell it and buy a black one, but I probably won't (just don't feel like dealing with it).
So...has anyone ever painted their scope with that temporary cammo paint or used the cammo tape on a scope? Any advice, tips?
 
Sorry Atticus.

I just clicked onto gear and accesories on accident and read your post. I have painted my Leupold twice. The key as you hopefully figured out was to tape over those lenses and not let any paint get to them! I also masked off the markings for the side focus and for the zoom. And for me I masked off my gold Leupold ring. Why? I just couldn't bring myself to paint the ring that signifies what a large investment I made.

Nice job (and pics) ER. I almost bought green to go with the black myself ..hmmmm....something to do next week maybe.
 
Hey Atticus,

Did you use a medium height or High set of rings for your scout configuration?

I gotta order a set of rings and need some advice.

Thanks.
