Correct. I ended up buying a Cerium Gray one and sent it off for painting at much higher price than most are probably willing to pay...
My dealer's body shop won't paint any of the cerium gray parts. They said it's like painting over chrome - the paint doesn't bond to it and it won't look great and it definitely won't be very durable. Since I wanted gloss black mirror caps I had to buy the primered ones and get them painted.
