Post Painting dash trim pieces

Can I take my car to any reasonable auto body shop to have them paint the interior trim pieces like this:

I guess if its removable it can be done! For instance, I ordered the ash-tray delete (black smooth plastic) and am going to have it painted Arctic Silver.

Cool

I was at my Porsche dealer today and he showd me a GT2 rip off that was beautiful that they had done including painting the air vents boxter red....

Too over the top for me but the young very rich Arab boys love it...

I was thinking of having the grille painted AS to match the rest of the car. A friend of mine did a photoshop thingy so I could see the result. I then decided the car looked too "heavy" in the front, so I left it alone.

No it's not, it says "aluminum look", and it requires core exchange. Its from <a href="http://www.nrauto.com" target="_blank">www.nrauto.com</a>
