Just fyi, I plasti-dipped an entire chrome bumper on my Tacoma and it lasted through 3 New England winters without a single imperfection before I sold it.
As for paint, I have painted my CX-5 emblems and they came out fine, but I never did put them back on (I had some custom decals made instead).

You can also get a satin/matt black flexible tape from some auto parts stores that is designed just for blacking out chrome. I used some on a previous car and it went on nicely and lasted years (plus you can pull it off if you change your mind).
Ok, here, did a search and found it at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)

Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it!
Seriously, it works very well, and look 'factory black' when applied.
This is the only photo I could find (insurance photo for the idiot that scraped my bumper) but gives you an example:
This is a web comparison photo to show the original brightwork:
