I saw this thought floating around a while back. My Pollo Palazzo arrived a couple of days ago, and this was Mission #2 after a Thompson's clear coat.
It was immensely satisfying to do. I used (exactly) one quart of Rust-Oleum flat black enamel and a high-density foam mini paint roller to do the bulk. I used a little craft foam brush to touch up the edges, since I didn't just want to paint all the window edges black, too.
It definitely would've been easier and quicker to do before the hardware cloth went up, but it was delivered already built. This took probably three to four hours of work, so well worth it regardless. I'll be able to see my girls inside from across the property, which is hugely convenient for me.
11/10, do recommend.

Nice job, looks great
Um…why?
Wow I would not have expected that
Yknow I’ve read in another thread someone claim that doing this makes it more likely predators will see and take interest in your coop. No idea if it’s actually true but it kinda made sense. If you can see better from across the yard, so can the neighborhood raccoons
Absolutely love your coop design!
Why?
Wow what a difference that makes
