Any SSM TL-S owners have their grill painted?

I was thinking of painting the chrom trim around my OEM front grill to match the car, similiar to the CDN A-Spec's, I was just wondering if any other SSM owners have tried it, and what it might look like.

thats because the photoshopped image wasn't taken far enough. There's still shiney glares from the sky on the "chromed" part. Try making the wanna-be painted pieces darker still and I think it'll capture what it'll look like.
