No, because of exactly your reason mate.
Will look good for two weeks, then it'll become chipped.

Don't paint it mate. I painted my r32 grill and had to get it redone twice in as many months due to stone chips. I got so pissed off with it I swapped it back for a standard one.

If your worried about getting chipped why don't you get it wrapped instead?
