No, because of exactly your reason mate.

Will look good for two weeks, then it'll become chipped.

Don't paint it mate. I painted my r32 grill and had to get it redone twice in as many months due to stone chips. I got so pissed off with it I swapped it back for a standard one.

On my phone... Won't chip any worse than the bumper, which unless he goes rallying on gravel stages will be fine
