Using only those tiny scissors, the matte black paint comes right off. Don't worry about scratching the battery's metal finish, it won't happen. I dug in hard at times (though it's not necessary) and it didn't do anything to the metal finish. The paint scrapes off with ease and you're left with a nice stainless steel battery within a few minutes.
Pretty simple for switching things up in a flash. A napkin in the battery hole is optional, but I didn't find it necessary. The paint filings aren't incredibly messy. A napkin on the table is enough.
Looks pretty sexy to me!
