Slide back window option and opinion

Has anyone tried to paint their slide back glass to make it cool looking? I have a one piece but trying to decide whether to keep the slide or not. Looking for photos of painted ones otherwise may just put in the clean look of the one piece.

I've always used my trucks as daily drivers and the sliding rear window was always the first thing i'd get if it did not have one as the quality of driving was enhanced tremendously

Yeah what cdowns said. If I had air conditioning I might think different.

Not sure why you want to paint it. Can't you just paint the solid glass?
