AMG rear bumper - painting diffuser???

Hi guys, need input -- I want to buy the AMG rear bumper that's all over eBay:




My question: Can the diffuser be painted, specifically gloss black.
I'm not sure how it comes from Japan (or where ever) but to me, it def doesn't look carbon fiber, so I'm assuming it's just primed or at least a matte black...

Any thoughts guys?

it comes in the same finish as the stock diffuser. I had it on my car for a while then swapped it out for a big-fin carbon diffuser
