Mudguards painted or not?

I had mine painted meteorite metallic to match the car. Looks good.

If the car were cleaner, I'd post up photos.

I'm curious how the painted mudguards have held up. Anyone have any feedback. I checked at the dealer about ordering the set of black mudguards and asked the guy if he knew whether the finish was smooth or matte. I had heard if the finish was matte there would be a better chance of the paint adhering to the mudguards. He had no knowledge of anyone painting them to match the car color. I also am concerned that the paint would crack or flake especially after an Ohio winter.

I also checked at an aftermarket specialist to see if the mudguards were available already painted. He had no luck locating anything.

Any feedback would be much appreciated. It sounds like the mudguards really help with the mud and I want to get them installed before Fall arrives. Just not sure I would like the black on the Silver Streak Mica sedan.

Thanks
