Black star

Anyone knows if the chrome star on the trunk can be purchased to replace with a black one or would that be easier to just paint it myself?

Paint it yourself, but don't forget to remove all the chrome. Paint does not adhere well to chrome.

I took it to a body shop and they will order a new star and paint it in matte black for me. Do you guys think I need to paint the star on the front grille in matte black as well just to match the star at the back?
