Paint radio face

Has anyone tried to paint the gray part of the radio face plate? If so can you post some pics and info on how you did it. Thanks.

Billet Customs sells IOM, chrome, and black overlays for the knobs

Oh, because I was hoping if they came off I could paint them white and put them back on. I certainly wouldn't want to pay for new ones.
