I did this today and want to report that is works amazing. Very happy with the results. The worst part is sanding off the old paint. Other than that the camo black firms up really quick.

Mine is still holding up and it is 8 years later.
I think there is a different paint that one can get which is closer to the "soft touch" OEM. I believe that SEM or similar automotive paint catalog is who you would look into. Can't speak to firsthand use but I remember reading about it and thought I would drop a note here.
