There is a foam rubber seal around the mounting base for the antenna. It seemed a little less than what I expected to see for a seal but obviously does the job.

I have been thinking about taping this off on the car and painting it without removing it. Taking the headliner out does not sound fun.

Since mine has metal flake (SIM) I got mine from Becky at Rodgers Chevrolet as well. She was great to work with. The stock black fin stuck out like a sore thumb to me... had to get it painted. Well worth the money if you plan on keeping your car for any decent length of time imo.
Great job on the write-up.

The factory antenna is unpainted for a reason. Paint pigment impedes radio frequency radiation.
How does 'On-star' like the painted antenna?

The paint doesn't seem to have any effect to the reception of the XM or the OnStar phone quality.

I ordered the white diamond colored antennae for a Buick lacrosse for my white 2010. Waitin on sunlight to see how the color matches. Looks really close to me(I can't tell a difference).

I was thinking same thing and have waited to paint mine. But if you notice a lot of the 2010 higher end cars are coming with them painted.
