Default New grill

Went all chrome for my grill. Now I want to paint the one I removed body color. Any suggestions?

Thanks. i've never been into chrome much, prefer the mono look, but since this truck had some chrome, I figured I would play it out. I really want to paint everything body color.

I would paint the actual grille body color before I would do the inserts. It looks good though the way it is.

If you do paint your grille, I think you would also need to paint your bumper too.
Go mono!
