Can't See Fuel on Dipstick!

Hi,

The dipstick on our club Cessna 150 is made out of a paint stir stick.

I made my own out of a paint stick from Lowes.

The problem is that it is very difficult to see which part of the stick is wet and which is dry when I dip the tanks. I have this problem for both dipsticks.

Can I paint the stick to make it easier to see the fuel? It's 100LL.

Is there a concern of the paint flicking off and contaminating the fuel?

Thanks for any suggestions.
