Can the finger print scanner be painted or have a wrap applied to it?

II'd like to change the color of my Pixel XL fingerprint Scanner. I've seen durability test videos where they highly scratch a scanner and it still works. I've also seen cases with a thin plastic film over the scanner that still allows it to function.

I'd like to ideally remove the paint currently on the fingerprint scanner and repaint. Alternatively, I'd settle to have a wrap applied to it.
