Default Pod Paint?

Hi Fellow Vette-heads;
Quick question for the forum. When I first bought my Ebony interiored car, I immediately replaced the silver OEM cheapo console with a guinmetal carbon fiber-like console from TKO (still one of the best things I did for the appearance).

I'm now tempted to do some winter work on the some of the rest of the OEM stuff. I could get an entire gauge-bezel package, but that looks like a bunch of work and is expensive. As an alternative, is it possible just to spray paint the pods on either side of the steering wheel? If so, how do you remove? Any regrets?
Thanks, for helping me get through Snow-mageddon 2011!

Here's a link on how to remove the gauge pods.

Very easy to do. I have painted mine as well along with the steering wheel spoke covers. Go for it.

Painting is a nice looking, less expensive option.
