Key Fob Chrome Delete?

Having deleted almost all the chrome from my car, the key fob cap being one of the last chrome pieces is bothering me more than it should. I was hoping there was an OEM black option just like the badges.
Has anyone done some work on their key fob to personalize it? I just tried vinyl wrapping the chrome bit; very difficult to get a smooth finish, and also prevents the chrome cap from sliding all the way back flush. That was a no go.
I've thought of painting it but concerned about the durability, although a 2K clearcoat might be good enough. Any other ideas?

Hi
Can the chrome section be removed and is it actually metal or chrome plated plastic? If yes then have it powder coated the same colour as your car.

Should be a piece of cake to powder coat.
