Yes, I have done it on a second-hand one I picked up. But it leaves some holes you will have to fill.

I first sprayed mine silver to match my GT, then tried black to match the saddle. Stuck with the black.

Took about a day, I think. Had to wait for filler to dry, then lots of filing, and then paint.

But the biggest problem is those two bloody screw holes behind the saddle. Got to fill them up with plugs of some sort. I used two countersunk Phillips screws, and filed their heads so they would sit flush. Then painted them to match.
