Default Paint the SB seat- the plastic thing

I dont know what to call it and hence attached a Pic. Has anybody painted the plastic thing that surrounds the opening in the headrest area in a sport bucket seat. I am considering plainting it to match the silver trim of the Spyder or a grey.

Is this a DIY or can any paint\auto body shop do it?

Thanks.

I know Porsche offered an option that matched this piece to the exterior color. If I had picked any color other than Basalt I probably would have done it. Maybe ask Eric at Bumperplugs if it is something they offer?

Pretty sure it just screws off the back of the seat with 4 screws and then can be removed.

I have an extra set of these pieces painted GR - anyone interested, just want to cover my cost and the cost of painting them. Installing the white set this week, selling the red set, also have the unpainted set that came with my white Spyder if anyone interested in a DIY.

aside from the screws, there are a few clips that are not easy to separate - they are quite brittle and can break.
