I did this as well after encouragement from Vichtz. I used Plastidip since I was just trying to get them all black before putting the Carbon Fiber overlays on them. My goal was to prevent any silver from showing through around the overlays. I was able to get it all covered without issue. It came out 99% perfect, I just had two really tiny tears in the plastidip when removing the masking tape from not cutting a clean enough edge. So from straight above the passenger door handle there are two 2mm specs of silver showing through I'll have to touch up.
