Can glacier silver aluminum trim be painted?

Hey forum,

Finally took delivery of my 135... but, I am not overly happy with the look of the glacier aluminum trim inside my savannah beige interior. Just seems to be too many colors going on. I am not a fan of any of the other trim choices, (thought about black trim but did not like the "glittery" look of it) but am curious if there is a way to either paint the trim or powder coat it? Ideally I would like to paint it a semi-transparent smoky gray/black color that would still allow some of the silver to show through, just to tone down the silver. But it could look cool painted opaque too w/ a matte finish or semi-gloss finish black.

Obviously it needs to be durable as it's touched all the time @ the handles. Any metal/painting experts out there? Would love to tackle this project, but only if final product looks finished enough and won't chip down the road.
