Painting my grill

I am thinking about getting my grill painted. How do you guys think it'll look on a NBP? I know the center is already black so will it make a difference?

How about painting it all black except for the chrome part in the middle?

Any opinions?

Paint the grill!! Since the grill is flat black, it would be better to paint it metallic.
But I don't think painting any chrome part would be a good idea.

I've been thinking about doing this too except painting everything but the Acura logo. I think it'd look pretty hot ... especially if you do the blacked out headlights.

I've been asking around to check prices but want some more opinions before I go thru with it.

there is nothin wrong with getting the "chrome" painted. do it ! ive seen some 99-01's painted before and nothin looks wrong w/em. If you black out ur headlights like LiQice, that would be a slick combo!

Yeah if I did mine I'd use a bodyshop and have them sand down the chrome, prime it, and then paint it NBP.
