Rear diffuser body color

Rear diffuser body color
Hi all,
I am awaiting delivery on my white ‘23 P450, estimated at the end of this month (it’s on the boat!), and I’m preparing for after-market goodies. One of the mods I’m considering is painting or wrapping the entire bottom diffuser section in body color (in black on sample pic). Not just the diffuser itself but the whole section. Going for the white out look (doing the same on side vents and grill surround and side skirts).
My question is; are there any (asides your personal aesthetic opinion) pitfalls to doing that? Like permanent soot build up that would mar the white paint? Or, even temporary soot that shows immediately on a short drive? Or, any other reasons. Also, if anyone else has done this please send pics.
Thanks in advance.

The back end of the car always gets a lot dirtier than the rest of it, but then black cars show up the dirt just as much. I dont think there is soot build up.
I'd try plastidip or wrap first, at least you can pull it off if you dont like the look, If you like it, then painting would be easy and cheap though I think the black part might be made out of a gloss plastic whereas the diffuser itself is painted. I'm not sure whether paint would stick to the black part.

This is what I have with my design pack V6 diffuser. My car is wrapped, so I told the shop to do it like this. I will say the area immediately above and around the tail pipes is impossible to keep clean, and the vinyl is stained with specks of oil/exhaust materials there. But hard to notice from a standing height.
P.S. Ignore the truck like stance, my car has been lowered since this shoot

I had all of the shiny black plastic on the rear facia wrapped in carbon fiber to match the rear OEM carbon fiber defuser bar. It was installed by a Master Craftsman from Bugatti who just happened to be in town to wrap a Chiron. He was flown to Denver for the job by Bugatti from Australia. It took him 10 hours to do the job and it looks perfect! He said that it was a very complex job that he would never ever repeat. The wrap has been installed for 5 years and even though it is near the exhaust, it is totally unaffected by the exhaust tips

I have a whole thread on the wing HERE. It is a Jaguar Accessory/Option I ordered and painted to match.
I ordered some badges that were available in black from Jaguar, and some I made with Auto Paint and/or vinyl wrap. Did not care for the green on the "R" as there is no green anywhere else.
