engine covers look good. The grill looks good too but need a closer pic of it. Please tell me you used factory matching paint on the grill?

The grill definitely looks good painted , but it is lighter. Did you use the right "base" color? Some colors need a certain base to actually come out the right color.

dry using a darker primer, paint also works off the color of the primer. Use a red primer or black primer then paint it
