Painting side skirts and front spoiler lip

I have a silver car and was thinking about painting the black side skirts and front spoiler lip to match. Has anyone done this? Good/bad idea?

Is the front painted on the Aero kit? Might be more surceptible to chips etc, but I thought it looked decent ...

DrewTT painted his front spoiler lip, but he had the C4s lip. I liked it. Look him up on the members list for a pic

I'm in debate about painting the front lip and sides on mine. I think it would look good. Looking for a good paint shop in the Boston area.
