Plastic strips on back cover housing

Hi guys! Is it possible to remove the plastic strips on the iPhone 6/6s back cover housing? The reason I want to do this is so I can custom paint my iPhone after I remove the plastic strips, then put the strips back on.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are you talking about the strips underneith the battery or the plastic strip above the vibrator button?

The ones in back of the batter you can take off the ones on the back of the phone itself i wouldnt mess with too much as they are antennas for your phone, painting around them would be optimal, even if you covered them with tap or something pre painting.

I'm talking about the strips that goes on the back corner of the iPhone on top and bottom. If you have the back right in front of you I'm talking about the two strips you can see just over and under the camera and the two at the same place but on the bottom instead. Those are all antennas? When I see customized phones on on internet they are all painted over. Shouldn't be any problem if I just paint them and don't remove them?

Thanks for you answer by the way.
