You must ensure you use a adhesion promoter or a plastic primer.

Dealer removed and reinstalled.
Tip: multiple VERY LIGHT COATS.
Do not do what instructions on paint say.
Cover with light coats until completely covered, then just one more light coat
I applied a clear afterwards, same technique.
Too much paint is BAD!!!!

I was thinking of now leaving the strip silver but painted the MBZ star gloss black instead.

also just doing the start in black may look strange. i messed around and wrapped mine a few months ago just to see how it looked. just kind of looked like a black hole to be honest. i will see if i can find some picture on my home computer and post it.

yeah the star comes out very easily. taking off the entire silver grill with the fins is a bit more difficult. there are numerous hard to reach tabs you have to work to get it out without breaking any. i ended up snapping a few when i replaced mine with a CF one.

I couldn't get to the entire star anyway, with the radar cruise behind it (they enclose the center of the star in plastic).
