Trunk lock painted body color
Need opinions. Don't hold back, I am a big boy I can take it 
Pic is of poor quality sorry (camera phone)

Did 3 coats of Suby PSM and one good coat of clear. You can barely tell the dif, which is whatI was going for. I like subtle changes that you usually don't notice.
Here is my car for ref '05 PSM STi.

I have no badges whatsoever and I wanted to shave the trunk lock but until I have the time to paint the entire trunk I thought I would try this.

^ That picture was taken at Hammy, right?
I can't tell it's painted with the shadow over the back of the trunk. It reminds me of when the lock is dirty so it's not as shiny. As long as the paint is smooth then it should look pretty nice.
