Gutter Guard Question

If gutter guard is used for front fender grills, does it need to be painted to prevent rust from forming? Thanks.

Do you have a pic? As you can see, I have comp gray wheels as well and was considering the same. Where did you buy your paint?

$3.50, industrial velcro is the trick, mine are on almost 3 yrs and never had to redo them. The velcro works because it gives a little without letting go
