Painted GFX--Dealer claims paint will not adhere

My car is all set to arrive @ dealer by sometime late this week/early next. I had previously requested to have my GFX painted black to match exterior, which my dealer originally quoted $600 to do. Today he sent me a copy of the GM bulletin stating that GFX warranty is void if painted. His body shop manager claims that paint will not adhere properly to the GFX & will peel/crack over time. At this point, they do not want to take responsibility for painting due to this issue. (Originally, I thought the 'voided warranty' was to ensure that GM would not be held responsible for faulty re-installation if owners took their cars to an outside body shop for painting, which makes sense). This is the first I've heard of problems with paint adherence, which I obviously don't want to happen down the road. Anyone else hear of this and/or experience it specifically?? I really want my GFX painted!!
