Default painting lowers and glove box?

Sending lowers off to be painted tommorrow, I removed the glove boxes, should I paint the glove box and doors? ( have hard cover doors) Now it matches my inner fairng, but I'm sure it won't be long before I have that painted. Bike is vivid black, will the paint hold up on the glove boxes?

I also sent mine out to be painted Black BUT I left the glove box and adj vents OFF.. decided to leave them the flat black... for me - too many moving parts and chances to chip.... they look fine to me...

forgot to add,, the material around the glove boxes is a vinyl type..

Could you share how much it costs to paint the lowers? I just bought a primered set and don't know what to expect to pay to paint them.

I wet sanded and preped them, not sure what charge would normally be not costing me anything buddy works at the body shop I use to work at. In the long run paying a shop is cheaper buy the time you buy all the materials primer,paint, clear, reducer, activator it cost more then 100 just to buy materials.
