Paint it or not?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone here has tried to paint the front grill and door handles on the GLE/GXE to match the body color. If so, please tell me how it turned out to be ? and if the paint comes off or not, cuz its on metal! Would apreciate it if some pics are show too . thank you !!

just sand them down, primer, and get a color code spray can from paintscratch.com

it would peel off eventually if you didn't did it on smooth metal

I would use vinyl sticker like the kind decal shops use to do the door handles, on a black car it works really well, its easier than the paint but if you dont have a black car... well do the paint

make sure to mask everything off really really well
