You're gonna scratch that piece sooner or later, and you will have to keep repainting it to keep it in good shape.

In my opinion, not worth the hassle.

Unless that silver part is actually made of metal, it seems it would get pretty ugly after some use.

Said metal being Adamantium or something . . .

But seriously, that part always gets dominated by stuff I put in my trunk.

Luggage, soccer cleats, dead bod..., stuff for my dorm, etc etc.

Well, body paint is clearcoated, yet it still scratches. Same thing with the trim piece. Unless you put on like 20 coats of clearcoat on there, it's gonna get owned. Then you get one scratch, and you will either just have to live with it or strip the entire thing of clearcoat and paint, then start over.
