Paint it! For the very reason you mention paint it. Removing turf is easy, it's the underpad and old contact cement that will make you regret not having a smooth surface to clean up. A turf re-gluing is a breeze if it lifts but most likely tray turf won't lift other than the very back at the pump. For that I just made a thin checker plate aluminum compression plate and used the OEM holes to bolt it on. The turf stopped lifting and being an issue back there entirely. My tray has always been smooth and never had turf issues. Personally I will be giving my re-glassed tray a top coat of surface repair epoxy resin just for this reason if my glassing resin isn't filling the glass enough. Turf is like shoes, it wears out sooner than you think or would like it to. Maybe not so much the actual top layer but the underpad will permanently compress after about a year or two. I left mine alone for about 4 years, it went from being just over an inch to a permanent compressed state of just over 1/8". It's really hard on the feet, knees, calves and back when you land hard with no support under your footy prints.
