Spraying a fork steerer?

Just bought a 3T ARX stem to replace the slightly too long stock stem that came on my Cannondale 6. Not sure if anyone is familiar with this stem but it has a section cut out that reveals the fork steerer, problem is my fork steerer is silver so it looks a bit crap.

Any suggestions on making my steerer black? Should I spray it? Tape it? Or is there some kind of super thin shim?

Also bit dismayed to find the stem is actually 20g heavier than the stock Dale stem despite being shorter.

    Tape didn't work. It made a right mess :(

    I've used a marker pen for this.
    More problems but still living....
