First off, why would you want to paint the textured plastic pieces anyways? They're textured for a reason.

Second of all, why wouldn't they take you money regardless? It sounds like there is more to the story then you're telling us.

Exactly. That's a difficult material to get paint to stick to. Not only do most flex agents work like shit, but the textured finish is going to have to be sanded off and it will most likely leave an uneven surface. They're not backing their work for a reason. Not to mention, it's a new car, and you're going to run the risk of paint not matching.

If I were you, I'd just leave well enough alone on this.

if you have to have it paint matched i'd find aftermarket body panels that are OEM style but are made in fiberglass, have those installed and painted...
