I'm thinking you could seal the whole thing in gloss 2-part clear urethane. If the textured parts end up too shiny, you might be able to put a semi-gloss over just those areas. I have the same issues with the flat black chipping off of the anodized aluminum on the Dart GTS trunk trim. The front grille too to some extent. Very difficult to keep it looking good.

Thanks but I considered that too. Then I thought , there would still be an edge only in a different location. Clear coat peeling off the bright could look even worse.
The factory got paint to stick on hubcaps and all or sorts of surfaces so there has to be a way.
