Re: painting dx hatchback (meccA's eg6)
It is harder to get the paint to stick to those pieces and he must've had an 'experience' with it before. I know I had mine painted before and they chipped eventually. But a competent painter should be able to do it right. If it's gonna void the warranty, I would just leave it black.

Don't get a paintjob without SOME kind of warranty, you will regret it. I've never heard of those thing voiding a warranty, if anything most shops would just charge you more money.......
