If you paint a black cow black, and it gets bit less, that would sort of give it away wouldnt it?

They already did sorta do that. One of the three groups was painted black on black, albeit with stripes. Those were bitten as much as the unpainted black cows.

To take it to the furthest conclusion I'd paint them entirely in black, and entirely in white (in case there's something different between the white and black paint besides the color).

Oh interesting I think I misread that middle group, I thought it was white stripes. I'll have to go back over it when I have the time to look at the details. I agree with your last point though.
