It looks to be since I am seeing a darker color as it wears on EVERY silver piece in the car.
I'm wondering if I can just take some paint stripper and remove the silver and have a black plastic piece instead of ordering like $150 of new OEM black pieces.
I know everybody just pulls them off and paints them but I want it to be all the way through so as it gets scratched more, it's just more black.
Anything would be better than the look of silver paint wearing away. The car hasn't even hit 20k and it looks like it was sprayed with a rattle can the way it's wearing so quick.

What do you reckon is causing the silver to wear off?
