Default PAINTING GRILL????now with a pic

Well, found a chip in the paint on my hood, so went out and got some touch up paint, the color is charcoal silver metallic,,, anyway, had a random thought of painting the honeycomb of my grill silver, think it might look ok or do you think it'll be ugly. I just can't decide, I don't think it'll be all that bad, but do you think it would look good? I know no others around here have it done, so at least mine would stand out even more.

if i were you, i probably wouldnt

the grille kind of adds character and contrast to the front of the car, and if the entire thing is silver, with a silver grille, chrome pony, and white(not tinted) headlights, it might not flow really well

just my opinion though
(if you do it, put up some pics)

id just get rid of the grill all together. i dont think youd nottice painting it anyway, i mean unless you painted it a brighter shade of grey its going to look very similar to its flat black color it was originally (from a distance).
