Default Body kit parts painted before wrapped?

I have some body kit peices on the way, ground kit, wing spoiler, rear roof spoiler & fender inserts, I'm going to get my car wrapped so I was wondering do I really need to waste money having them painted before I get them wrapped? Once they're wrapped it would seem pointless but if I need to paint them to get the wrap to stick that would make sense, these 8 peices aren't metal. Any help is appreciated.

No, you wouldn’t need to get it painted if you were to get the whole car wrapped. It will look the same as the rest of the car once wrapped.

I personally wouldn't wrap those parts if I am going to wrap it.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I think I'm going to just spray a clear coat over them, I'm taking them to my body work guy anyway to have it fitted and to make sure all parts are smooth with no noticeable imperfections just in case, from what I've read it's not uncommon that some ftp kit peices have to be sanded down in parts these arent carbon fiber.
I'll take them to get wrapped hopefully soon, been putting off getting a full wrap until these came in.
